  • In this episode of Frank’s Files, step inside the Van Cleef & Arpels’ magnificent Paris headquarters on the Place Vendôme and discover storied pieces from the legendary jewelers’ Heritage Collection, which comprises iconic designs produced by the House between the 1920s and the 1980s that they have bought back in order to offer to vintage jewelry collectors around the world. Frank Everett joins Nicolas Luchsinger, President of Asia Pacific for the House and they explore highlights from the collection, tracing the evolution of the Van Cleef & Arpels style over the years-its whimsy, femininity and enduring elegance. Each piece represents a slice of the company’s long history, including an elegant floral brooch inspired by a post-war shortage of fabric and the iconic “Zip Necklace” dreamt up by The Duchess of Windsor.

    Unfortunately, the great jewelers of the past don't have the same creativity. They have the technology, they have the best artisans, but the window jewelry, which anyone can buy, is not the same. Its design is very poor. See, for exempler, the Alhambra colection. They still live because of their magnificent design from the past. However, the high jewelry collection is still fabulous, but no one can buy it!
