VAN CLEEF & ARPELS Zip Necklace-Bracelet

The Van Cleef & Arpels Zip Necklace was patented in 1938 but wasn't fully realized until 1950. The Van Cleef Zip Necklace is part of its signature High Jewelry Collections and is one of the most iconic designs for the Maison. A suggestion from the Duchess of Windsor allegedly inspired the Van Cleef & Arpels Zip Necklace. The Van Cleef Zip Necklace can be transformed seamlessly from necklace to bracelet and has been reinterpreted many times with diamonds, gemstones, and other precious materials. The Zip Necklace is one of the most desirable creations from Van Cleef & Arpels and is highly sought after by collectors and admirers.

The necklace/bracelet features round brilliant-cut diamonds, square-cut pink tourmalines, and lapis lazuli beads. The tassel is further adorned with cultured pearls and pink tourmaline beads.
