Van Cleef & Arpels Secret des Amoureux brooches

Sep 7, 2022
The brooch is centered with a 12.04 ct heart-cut rubellite, the bow and arrow are partially inlaid with yellow sapphires and diamonds, the vine leaves below are made of purple, pink sapphires and diamonds, and the bottom is also a 2.74 ct pink sapphire and a 1.36 ct purple sapphire, all cut in a teardrop shape, produced in Sri Lanka.

Van Cleef & Arpels unveiled this romantic brooch in their new fine jewelry collection "Le Secret" in 2017 as the opening jewelry of the collection. The designer created a god of love", Cupid, who sits at the end of the heart, and the vivid gestures and gestures allude to the "secret" theme of the "Le Secret" series.

As early as the 1940s, Van Cleef & Arpels experimented with delicate gold carvings to interpret the image of "Cupid", and this brooch was set in white gold with gorgeous diamonds – Eros's face was a teardrop-shaped rose-cut diamond with round diamonds on the back. Cupid raised his index finger to his lips, made a "shh" gesture to keep it secret, and put his other hand on his knee, making the atmosphere peaceful and quiet.

Cupid's overlapping legs are cleverly designed as the prongs of a rubellite center stone – this 12.04 ct rubellite is heart-shaped and has a vivid and full rose red color, which is the most eye-catching focus on the brooch. Behind the center stone are stacked a number of slender arrows - the arrows are bright teardrop-shaped diamondsThe arrow feather is a long-stepped diamond.

The streamlined bow is outlined in gold and decorated with garlands of colorful sapphiresand two drop-shaped pink and purple sapphires are draped at the bottom, gently swaying with the brooch, which highlights the fairytale atmosphere of the whole work.
