• Lot Description
  Van Cleef & Arpels, New York, Turquoise and Diamond Butterfly 'Alhambra' Necklace containing two carved turquoise plaques and one round brilliant cut diamond. Stamp: VCA NY 18K 4V477-244. 3.50 dwts. In 1896, Esther Arpels, the daughter of Salomon Arpels, a dealer in precious stones, married Alfred Van Cleef, whose family were sheet merchants living in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. That same year, Alfred Van Cleef and Salomon Arpels had already established a company with the aim of “founding and running a jewelry business”. In 1906, they registered the “Van Cleef & Arpels” trademark and opened a boutique at 22 place Vendôme. From 1909 to 1939, Van Cleef & Arpels prospered and opened boutiques in holiday resorts such as Deauville, Le Touquet, Nice and Monte-Carlo.. In 1942, the Arpels family emigrated to America and opened their first boutique in New York, on 5th Avenue. Later, Van Cleef & Arpels became the first French jewelers to open boutiques in Japan and China. Over the years, the firm was always managed by a descendant of the Arpels family, The company’s prestige stems from a long list of prominent commissions issued by royal and imperial courts, financiers and industrial magnates, which have enabled Van Cleef & Arpels to be active today not only in Europe and the United States, but also in Asia and the Middle East. This lot is accompanied by a GIA appraiser letter from an independent and well respected  firm established over 75 years ago.
