Jardin d'Extrême - Orient
It is a delight to see how Van Cleef and Arpels have caught and replicated the existing elements into beautifully designed jewelry. They have taken shape of a Bonsai.
In the luxury Serenité earrings above left, designers have reproduced the pure lines of the dry oriental gardens within the flowing curves of diamonds. These lines are studded with fascinating cabochon star sapphires, imitating smooth boulders. A few marquise-cut emeralds represent the leaves of the maple, a highly symbolic tree in Japanese gardens.
Beside the earrings, the Nuit d'Orient ring features a magnificent black opal (22.96 carats). The ring has aquatic highlights which are enhanced by the mounting which represents the pools, cascades and bridges of peaceful Oriental gardens.
