Man has looked to the stars in wonder since time began and this year Van Cleef & Arpels has unveiled two jewelry sets with a new interpretation of the Western zodiac signs to celebrate some of the iconic creations of its heritage
Crafted from intricately polished yellow gold , the new Zodiaque jewellery collection depicts the signs of the Zodiac in two striking ways with a selection of long necklaces and pendants . The first set encrusted with rare ornamental stones with each sign individually represented with a stone chosen for their aesthetic characteristics , they also form harmonious colored compositions for each element . Thus , those selected for the water signs evoke the seas of the world , the blue quartz of Cancer embodying the depth of the oceans , the sodalite of Pisces the salty foam and the turquoise of Scorpio the clear waters of exotic shores . The intense nuances of the earth signs echo the lush nature that has inspired Van Cleef & Arpels since its origins : malachite with wavy patterns undulating patterns of malachite in Virgo , the random chromium aventurine in Taurus , and the vivacious amazonite in Capricorn .
