Van Cleef & Arpels has launched its latest high jewellery collection, Fleurs d’Hawaï, drawing on the vitality of nature to showcase the Maison’s expertise in gemstone selection and craftsmanship.
The collection introduces a series of vibrant creations inspired by the hues of tropical gardens. It features earrings, rings, pendants and watches adorned with five varieties of fine stones: citrine, amethyst, rhodolite, aquamarine and peridot. Each stone is paired with rose, yellow or white gold, selected to enhance the colour of the gem.
According to the Maison, the collection revisits its historical emphasis on coloured gemstones. Each gem was chosen by the Stone Department for its intensity and uniformity of colour, as well as purity and cut. Pear-cut stones were favoured for their symmetry and luminosity. Careful matching ensures that the petals on each piece remain consistent in tone.
The jewellery’s construction involves precise craftsmanship. The gold mounts are made using the lost-wax casting technique and include openwork settings that let light pass through the stones. Each petal is slightly raised to create the illusion of motion, and a polished golden leaf adds a subtle asymmetry to the overall form. Seven diamonds are set within each piece, surrounded by golden beads shaped to reflect the form of the prong settings.
Among the highlights are large model rings in a range of colourways: rose gold with rhodolites and diamonds; yellow gold with citrines or amethysts; and white gold with aquamarines. Earrings and pendants also appear in rose gold with rhodolites.
The Fleurs d’Hawaï line further includes three secret watches. Each one features a rotating motif concealing the watch dial. The floral dial is crafted from twelve pear-cut stones and set against white mother-of-pearl, with a pear-cut diamond marking 12 o’clock. Round diamonds edge the display. The motif can be detached and worn as a bracelet, clip or pendant.
The Maison has emphasised both visual harmony and technical precision throughout the range. Each piece is designed to embody a combination of elegance, colour and craftsmanship, reflecting Van Cleef & Arpels’ longstanding dedication to high jewellery.
