Van Cleef & Arpels’s new collection, Legend of Diamonds, began with 2008 discovery of a rough diamond of unusual weight and brilliance at the Letseng Mine in Lesotho
involves mounting each stone into extremely thin gold rails, each less than two-tenths of a millimeter, making the prongs invisible. The gems seem to float on the surface of the jewel, shaped as if by magic.
The most spectacular piece in the new collection is the Atours Mysterieux necklace, where the heaviest stone cut from the Lesotho Legend is given pride of place; its stunning 79.35 carat oval diamond is surrounded by a set of equally luminous rubies, intertwined with diamonds in a ribbon-shaped swirl. The technical ingenuity that is a Van Cleef & Arpels signature is reflected in the transformable nature of the necklace; the central diamond can be detached and worn on a simple chain.

While the 25 Mystery Set jewels include precious stones like rubies, emeralds, and sapphires, the other part of the Legend of Diamonds collection is entirely centered around diamonds. The 82 pieces in the White Diamond Variations have been designed in homage to the striking best-of styles that have made Van Cleef famous. The maison has been linked to many a fairytale.
