I recently came across kinds of cute accessories from French Haute Joaillerie and watch company Van Cleef & Arpels, and wanted to share them here. To mark its centennial this year, Van Cleef & Arpels specially introduced new jewelry collection named Une Journée à Paris in honor of its birthplace Paris.
Why choose Paris? In fact, as the birthplace of Van Cleef & Arpels, Paris remains an eternal source of inspiration for the House. Paris, a mythical, magical, enchanting city which the House has chosen to explore with the narrative and poetic collection, to recreate a Romance in Paris. Now, Van Cleef & Arpels invites us to discover the City of Light in a new and playful way. So let’s imagine our day in Paris…
This time, the jeweller explored new interpretation for its collection with poetic and narrative mechanisms through a very cute video Une Journée à Paris (which means a day in Paris). To redefine a collection created three years ago, Van Cleef & Arpels imagine two new stories: Romance in Paris and Wednesday in Paris. Romance in Paris necklace illustrates a love story of a young couple: the day they first meet to when the emotions starts to grow; the bracelet recreates a tender rendez-vous (when your heart is beating because you are in love) and the pendant at once tender and refined unites the two young lovers under an umbrella. This collection is sure a great gift to offer to someone you love as it represents your passion. The Wednesday in Paris necklace tells the story of a Wednesday afternoon outdoors, where a little girl gently floats away, lifted to the sky by a multitude of brightly hued balloons. Pink gold, coral, white mother-of-pearl and diamonds.
Have you ever considered that a playful jewelry can tell a story? This newly released collection will surely remind you of the first romantic trip to France.

The legendary French jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels ia always on the way of designing and crafting distinguished, exclusive and truly sophisticated jewelries. I’m a big fan of Van Cleef & Arpels jewelries, especially classic Alhambra flower collection. I have posted about these lovely pieces previously here. Now, a new collection named Effeuillage just hit my heart and excited me.
Just like the Effeuillage, it looks exquisite as well. I guess that Van Cleef & Arpels originally aimed to introduce the line specially for Valentine’s Day. It includes a ring and drop earrings with heart petal and is currently available in carnelian edged with rose gold or mother of pearl with yellow gold in select VCA stores. I just adore the charming little heart falling/dangling from the rest of the piece. The ring retails for $3330 and the earrings retail for $4800.
I do not emphasize how much they cost here, since nobody can expect the price of love. You see, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, have you prepared the gift for your beloved one?

Gucci announced the open of GUCCI ICON-TEMPORARY, a flash sneaker store at Crosby Street in New York on October 24. The store would then remain open for just two weeks.
Gucci’s creative director, Frida Giannini uses her strong sense of style and knowledge of Gucci’s clientele in conjunction with the award winning musician Mark Ronson to create this exclusive collection of Gucci Ronson sneakers. The collection includes 16 men’s styles and 2 women’s styles, incorporating classic Gucci design signatures, such as the GG logo or a stylized version of the iconic Gucci red and green web detail that mostly appear on Gucci handbags. Each design includes silver or gold metal dog tags as well as an embroidered ‘Limited Edition’ label inscribed inside the shoe. Customers’ initials can be embossed onto a customized leather tag on the shoe laces, if desired.
The opening also attracted most celebrities to come. Like Mischa Barton, Evan Rachel Wood, Claire Danes etc.
I spent many many years as an avid sneaker collector, so I wanted to make sure these Gucci shoes were truly special, both from an aesthetic point of view and a collectible one. Frida and I also agreed that it was important for there to be a unique musical element to the project, so I’m going to be collaborating with artists to make limited edition tracks for each store opening. – Mark Ronson
In December, GUCCI ICON-TEMPORARY will move from New York to Miami. It will then move to select cities in Europe and Asia such as London, Berlin, Paris, Hong Kong and Tokyo.
