Van Cleef & Arpels
A rare and captivating pair of Van Cleef & Arpels ‘Lampion' ear clips, masterfully composed in 18k yellow gold and adorned with the Maison’s legendary Mystery-Set rubies. Each earring glows with a seamless mosaic of vivid, square-cut rubies, ingeniously set without visible prongs, producing an uninterrupted expanse of velvety red. Accented by tapered baguette-cut diamonds along the edges, the ear clips embody both daring color and restrained elegance. The “Lampion” design, named after its resemblance to glowing lanterns, flourished in the 1980s when Van Cleef & Arpels reimagined bold, architectural silhouettes in jewelry. These earrings capture that spirit with their voluminous form, offering both sculptural presence and radiant sparkle.
