A breathtaking testament to the glamour and ingenuity of 1940s Van Cleef & Arpels design, this sculptural bow brooch captures the elegance of the era’s haute couture. Fashioned in radiant 18K yellow gold, the piece intertwines volume and lightness through alternating panels of polished gold and delicate openwork lattice. The surface shimmers with pavé-set diamonds and accents of rubies, artfully arranged in floral and star-like motifs.

At the center, three diamond-encrusted bands cinch the bow with dazzling precision, adding depth and symmetry to the graceful composition. The open gold filigree edges echo the handcraftsmanship and inventive spirit that defined Van Cleef & Arpels’ post-war creations—where femininity met architectural brilliance.
