An exceptional Van Cleef & Arpels Flying Butterfly necklace, crafted in 18K white gold and diamonds, capturing the delicate beauty and graceful movement of butterflies in flight.

The diaphanous elegance of butterflies has long fascinated Van Cleef & Arpels, inspiring creations that evoke the shimmering delicacy and effortless movement of their wings. In this whimsical design, two diamond-set butterflies appear to flutter along the necklace, with the larger butterfly highlighted by a significant 1.08-carat marquise-cut diamond, GIA-certified E color and VVS1 clarity.

The smaller pavé-set butterfly is detachable, adding versatility to the design and allowing the jewel to be worn in different configurations. The diamond-set necklace flows gracefully between the two butterflies, creating an elegant sense of movement across the neckline.

Dating to approximately 2005, the necklace bears French, Swiss, and European marks, further reflecting the Maison's exceptional craftsmanship and international heritage.
