Nature through the archives
“An Ode to Nature by Van Cleef & Arpels” opened at the Maison’s Madrid boutique on September 15, 2026. With 38 Heritage Collection pieces and 9 archival documents, it extends its focus from jewellery to wristwatches and precious everyday objects, spanning the 1940s to the 1990s.
Flowers, animals and everyday objects
The exhibits include the Four-bird on a Branch brooch from 1946, the Daisy powder case from 1948 and the Turtle clip from 1965. Comparing pieces from different periods and with different purposes reveals how natural forms are reinterpreted across jewellery, timepieces and personal accessories.
