Are Van Cleef & Arpels pieces real gold?

Yes. Van Cleef & Arpels fine jewellery is made in 18KT gold or platinum, marked accordingly, often with French hallmarks such as the eagle's head for gold.

Can you wear Van Cleef & Arpels jewellery every day?

Gold and platinum pieces suit daily wear. Mother of pearl, onyx and other inlays are softer and should be kept away from water, perfume and knocks.

Does Van Cleef & Arpels jewellery tarnish?

Gold and platinum do not tarnish. Inlaid organic materials such as mother of pearl can dull if exposed to chemicals, and a soft dry cloth is the best way to clean them.

What is the Van Cleef & Arpels Mystery Setting?

A technique patented in 1933 in which cut gemstones slide onto fine gold rails hidden beneath them, so the surface shows only stones and no metal.
