Van Cleef & Arpels continues its tradition of poetic tributes to nature with the 2024 expansion of the Frivole collection. This year, the maison has unveiled five stunning new pieces, including a white gold 7-flowers bracelet, a rose gold Between the Finger ring, and a unique 8-flowers ring that marries rose and white gold.
Each piece shines with expertly selected diamonds, illuminating the skin with their sunny glow. The maison’s mastery of craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from diamond selection to the signature mirror-polished finish that has defined Van Cleef & Arpels’ creations since the 1920s.

One of the collection’s highlights is the white gold 7-flowers bracelet, which features nearly 300 meticulously set diamonds. The asymmetry of the design, combined with the heart-shaped petals’ gentle tilt, reflects the vitality and movement of nature. Similarly, the 8-flowers ring brings a fresh dialogue between rose and white gold, with flowers at varying heights adorned with diamonds to create a three-dimensional bouquet on the finger.
A new aesthetic emerges in the rose gold pieces, particularly in the Between the Finger ring, where two mirror-polished flowers form a delicate tête-à-tête. The asymmetry extends to the diamond settings, emphasising the maison’s attention to detail and savoir-faire.
Adding a dynamic, artistic touch to this year’s collection is French artist and illustrator Alexandre Benjamin Navet, a close collaborator of Van Cleef & Arpels since 2020. Navet’s colourful, poetic world sets the stage for the Frivole collection, with his vibrant designs adorning boutiques and store windows notably. His spirited pencil strokes and lively compositions of flowers and decorative elements infuse the collection with a sense of wonder, transforming each piece into a celebration of both nature and artistic creativity.
