Van Cleef & Arpels Necklace Review
When it comes to Van Cleef & Arpels, what comes to our mind must be its Alhambra series, or what we often call “four-leaf clover”. Van Cleef & Arpels’ four-leaf clover can be said to be an explosive luxury item. I believe that even if you do not know much about jewelry, you must have seen it, or a variety of jewelry based on it.
The well-known “four-leaf clover” quickly became the symbol of Van Cleef & Arpels when it was introduced in 1968. For fifty years, this lucky and charming motif has been a favorite of women. Many people think that they like Van Cleef & Arpels as a status symbol, but in fact, it is her charm and soul that fascinate people the most. First of all, I would like to interrupt the origin of Van Cleef & Arpels: Estelle Arpels, a young lady from a jewelry family, married Alfred Van Cleef, a young master from a diamond family. The couple used their names to spell out the brand “Van Cleef & Arpels”.
This is definitely a short to lazy to say the brand story, no gossip, the two strength + financial strength of the family is so a heart to do until now, completely did not tear! In 1968, Jacques Arpels created a four-leaf clover collection inspired by the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain.
With a special source, and can not convince everyone that it is special enough, let’s talk about the aesthetics of the design.
It is not easy to be simple and have your own unique aesthetics, such as the following two patterns that are known all over the world.
Much of the credit for the success of these two patterns comes from one concept: the golden mean, which is one of the most aesthetically appealing ratios to humans.
The four-leaf clover, on the other hand, uses another concept of immense importance in both science and art: symmetry, and the four-leaf clover is not simply left-right symmetry, but central symmetry (rotating 180 degrees around a central point to overlap with itself).
In life and art works, symmetry is a regular repetitive behavior, representing balance, proportional harmony, which is in line with the laws of all living creatures on earth, allowing humans to obtain a beautiful and dignified feeling.
This four-leaf clover, which means happiness, has been loved by many women since its birth. Besides the beautiful symbolism, its elegance, simplicity and versatility are also important reasons for people to choose it, right?
