A new era of spectacular jewellery has arrived, with the glittering official launch of Van Cleef & Arpels first flagship boutique in Auckland.
The renowned French High Jewelry Maison has crafted breathtaking pieces since 1906 and adorned icons like Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor and Marlene Dietrich, as well as royalty around the world.
While the Auckland boutique quietly opened on Queen Street earlier this year, the official celebration recently transformed Auckland Art Gallery into an enchanted bejewelled universe, sparkling with elegant and exquisite pieces of Van Cleef & Arpels jewellery flown into New Zealand specially for the event.
“The Van Cleef & Arpels expansion into New Zealand represents another milestone in strengthening the Maison’s presence in Oceania,” says Nicolas Luchsinger, President of Van Cleef & Arpels Asia-Pacific and adorning a parade of models..
“We are so happy to be able to present our creations and to welcome our clients in a boutique experience that brings to this city the enchanting world of Van Cleef & Arpels.”
While the jewellery is clearly the crowning glory, the flagship boutique is a tantalising experience in itself; impeccably presented in the style of the most impeccable of French apartments.
The Queen Street boutique houses iconic Van Cleef and Arpels creations, alongside exceptional new pieces; from Alhambra and Perlée collections, to engagement rings, high jewellery and timepieces.
Featuring exquisite gems and craftsmanship, Van Cleef & Arpels is a visual feast for the mind, body and soul.
