A high jewellery collection of around 180 pieces inspired by Egyptomania (necklaces of 10 Colombian emeralds totalling 107.37 ct and natural pearls, a nod to Princess Faiza of Egypt's 1929 Collerette necklace, a hieroglyphic trio of lapis lazuli/coral/turquoise, the Beauté Légendaire necklace with a 10.02 ct Fancy Vivid Yellow diamond). The majority of the pieces had already been sold to VIP clients at the time of the press unveiling.
Line-up : Van Cleef & Arpels; international VIC clientele of couture week
Van Cleef & Arpels (Richemont group) — in-house event: Hôtel Mona Bismarck, gala at the Palais de Chaillot (120th anniversary).
No table or ticketing: access by invitation of the house only. Realistic route: become a high jewellery client via the boutique at 20 place Vendôme (appointment required, +33 1 55 04 11 11) or a VCA advisor; a substantial purchase history brings entry to the VIC file invited to presentations — most of the pieces were already sold to VICs at launch. Otherwise press accreditation. A concierge can only secure a boutique appointment.
