Van Cleef & Arpels Treasure Island's high-end jewelry series transcribed with precious gold and stones

Van Clerk Arpels tells an adventure story called “Treasure Island” with precious gold and strange stones.

One of the most talked about Van Cleef & Arpels’s features is that they are good at telling the propositions of high-end jewelry creations in each year with poetic design and exquisite craftsmanship, and adding dreams and miracles to life through jewelry.

At the beginning of the brand's founding, the themes of nature, fairy and fairy tales were compared, emphasizing narrative and fantasy elements, laying a solid foundation for the later literary jewelry series. After entering the 21st century, Van Cleef & Arpels became more and more active in exploring a larger narrative plot, and began to create literary works, concretely transforming the story into jewelry. For example, William Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream and Romeo and Juliet, Jules Verne's Extraordinary Voyages series, Charles Perrault's Donkeyskin, and Grimm's Fairy Tales, are all created and realized one by one in the imagination of jewelry craftsmen.

This year, Van Clerk Arpels' wonderful ideas came to the classic literary work “Treasure Island”, and launched the Treasure Island high-end jewelry series of the same name, presenting the adventure stories written by Robert Louis Stevenson in the form of trilogy “undersea adventure”, “island exploration” and “treasure hunting journey”. Each chapter of jewelry that appears in the stage seems like a theater to reinterpret the key story of the story, the courage of the treasure hunter, the magnificence of the sailing adventure, and the mysterious charm encountered on the treasure hunter's journey.

“In the tendency of most high-end jewelry to cater to market preferences, “Van Clerk Arpels' works are still close to dreams and retain the innocence of a child in the series. I think that's why Van Clerk Arpels is widely loved. We want to get a creative inspiration beyond geographical limitations. Everyone, regardless of cultural background, can become pirates or treasure hunters. Treasure Island will bring back the children in your heart.” “Adventure, new horizons, discovery, this is a very personal thing. You know, you don't need to jump on a boat to cross the world, learn by yourself or learn by yourself or be curious about the world and embark on a journey. This sense of exploration and inner search may be very horizontal. Yes, this adventure exists in collective imagination.” Julie Clody Medina, president of Asia Pacific, expressed the original intention of the series.
