A RARE MASTERPIECE OF FRENCH HAUTE JOAILLERIE: ITS TORSADÉ, OR BRAIDED, DESIGN SHOWS ONE OF THE MOST SOPHISTICATED TECHNIQUES ⎯ HERE TAKEN TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH NINE LUSTROUS ROWS OF CULTURED PEARLS, CLASPED BY A SCULPTURAL PAVÉ OF OLD CUT DIAMONDS. A REMARKABLE PIECE OF 20TH CENTURY GLAMOUR BY VAN CLEEF & ARPELS.


WE LOVE THIS because it’s not just a bracelet, it’s haute couture for the wrist. Van Cleef’s mastery of balance and tension is on full display here, with the softly draped pearls anchoring the strength of the platinum clasp. A standalone work of art, offered at an exceptional price considering its rarity and source.

STYLE IT: As styled in the Gallery, it wraps around the wrist with graceful volume, offsetting creamy luminosity to a sharp black dress. We suggest pairing this VCA just as elegantly with a silk shirt or to elevate cocktail hour with a navy blazer.

Our Price Analysis

A REAL OPPORTUNITY because the price is unmatched for a torsade design, signed by Van Cleef & Arpels.

• CRAFTSMANSHIP & SIGNATURE: A fine example of the work by one of the world's most prestigious haute joaillerie maisons.

• DESIGN & PERIOD: The torsade design — a luxurious French technique of twisting multiple strands — is executed here with nine rows of pearls and an old-cut diamond clasp from the 1950s.

• MATERIAL VALUE: Crafted in platinum and set with diamonds, with exceptional density and weight.

• HERITAGE & RARITY: One-of-a-kind, signed, period VCA pieces of this calibre rarely come to market at this price point.

Collector Value: A museum-worthy bracelet for any serious VCA or French jewellery collector.

Price Value: Comparable signed pieces often significantly exceed the listed price at auction.
