VAN CLEEF AND ARPELS, A LARGE AND RARE TURQUOISE A ...

Estimate £25,000 - £35,000

Description

VAN CLEEF AND ARPELS, A LARGE AND RARE TURQUOISE AND DIAMOND ROSE DE NOEL BROOCH in 18ct yellow gold, designed as a Christmas Rose set with a cluster of round brilliant cut diamonds and gold spines, the petals set with heart-shaped polished turquoise, signed VCA and numbered, stamped Au750, French assay marks, 5.5cm, 31.9g.

For a pair of earrings of identical design see Christie's, sale 22063, 21 April 2023, lot 23, price realised USD 69,300.00.

Over the years, Van Cleef has created many iconic pieces that have become part of jewellery history, including their Rose de Nöel collection, forming a cornerstone of their offering from its beginnings in the 1970s to the present day. Inspired by a Christmas rose, each jewel is composed of a glittering centre of yellow gold and white diamonds, surrounded by carefully selected and crafted ornamental stone, representing the rich and vibrant petals of the flower. 

What makes this particular brooch so special is the perfectly matched turquoise radiating from the bejewelled centre. Due to the extreme scarcity in supply of fine quality turquoise, this model with turquoise can no longer be acquired directly from Van Cleef & Arpels and therefore presents a rare opportunity to own such an important piece of jewellery history.

Fees apply: 25% (excl VAT) up to and including £500,000 for each individual lot, 20% on the excess up to £3,000,000 and 12% in excess of £3,000,000. - Bid Calculator
