Through the years: A look at Van Cleef & Arpels’ Heritage Collection

It was a morning well spent with Natacha Vassiltchikov, deputy director of the Van Cleef & Arpels Heritage Collection, who took a group of guests and media on an informative journey through the chronological timeline of the Heritage Collection. Before a piece can join the collection, it is thoroughly examined by Van Cleef & Arpels’ experts. Artisans closely analyse the condition of each piece. After it is cleaned, necessary repair work is carried out by the maison’s exacting standards and savoir-faire.

Here are some of the exquisite creations we saw up close.
