- Van Cleef & Arples Ring
To celebrate St Valentine’s Day 2011, Van Cleef & Arpels has created the Nid de Paradis collection.Three pieces (ring, earrings and pendant) display the imaginative, asymetrical motif of the collection that reflects the spirit of the Maison.
Borrowing the slender curves of the plumage of the bird of paradise, the Nid de Paradis collection is part of the fairy-tale world of Van Cleef & Arpels. Ever since it was founded, the Maison has drawn its inspiration from idyllic representations of benevolent nature.

Splendid looking ring but did you expect anything less from VC&A? I particularly like the asymmetric styling which I will be introducing into my collection very shortly - in the form of stunning cocktail rings. I have tended to lean towards perfect symmetry until now but recently I am drawn to 'dischord' or 'unbalance' within a piece giving it an incredible sense of tension.
