Searching for a more meaningful gift? Here’s why Van Cleef & Arpels’ Zodiaque collection is just the ticket

Van Cleef & Arpels has long been captivated by the allure of the cosmos. This fascination with the heavens first influenced its collections back in the 1950s, igniting a celestial journey that has continued to this day. The result of this enduring fascination is the brand’s incredible Zodiaque collection, a tribute to the boundless beauty of the night sky.

Blending two cherished sources of inspiration for the Maison — the wonders of nature and the mysteries of astronomy — this collection is a celebration of the symbolism that resides in the constellations, where stars and celestial bodies tell stories of ancient lore.
