Van Cleef & Arpels began from a love story when Estelle Arpels and Alfred Van Cleef married, bringing beauty, charm, talent and elegance together. A dynasty of jewellers was born.

A hundred years later the House embodies design in high jewellery.
Van Cleef & Arpels creates the most inventive jewels combining femininity, glamour and gracefulness - always associated with exceptional stones and an unchallenged craftsmanship.

In 1955, Prince Rainier of Monaco got engaged to the actress Grace Kelly and bought a beautiful set of pearls and diamonds from Van Cleef & Arpels, becoming then the Official Jeweller to the Monaco Principality. On her daughter Caroline’s wedding day, Princess Grace wore the marvellous tiara from the Van Cleef & Arpels workshops.

Thanks to its close relationship with Monaco, Van Cleef & Arpels naturally sponsors the Monaco Yacht Show.
