Van Cleef & Arpels presents a timeless treasure with the Signed Vintage Sautoir from the 1970s. Crafted in France with French assay marks, this exquisite piece showcases Maison's mastery in working with coral, a precious gem grown by living organisms. Suitable for individuals of any gender, the twisted design, reminiscent of Art Nouveau, features a hand-carved coral stylized trefoil suspended from a versatile 18K yellow gold chain adorned with 145 round brilliant cut diamonds, totaling approximately 8 carats. The interplay of materials creates a spellbinding tension, offering a pleasing tactile experience. Beyond its aesthetic allure, this convertible piece transforms effortlessly from a long necklace to a shorter version and a bracelet, catering to the dynamic preferences of the age group from teens to adults. The trefoil's ornate detailing inspires a poetic association, while the piece's historical significance is underscored by its use of symbols from the late Middle Ages. A collector's gem, its value is heightened by the coral's endangered status, making it an invaluable vintage acquisition for those appreciating enduring beauty and sustainability.
