Grand Opening of Van Cleef & Arpels: The Art & Science of Gems – Singapore, April 23 to August 14, 2016

Van Cleef & Arpels: The Art and Science of Gems

This exhibition explores the interrelationship between the science of mineralogy and the art of the finest jewelry and gems.  Over 450 pieces of jewelry selected from Van Cleef & Arpels’ Collection are displayed and those of private collectors. In parallel, over 250 gems and minerals from the renowned Collection of the French National Museum of Natural History invited by L’École Van Cleef & Arpels, highlight the major principles critical to the precious stones’ formation.

The agency Jouin-Manku, which the Maison has been collaborating with on several projects, has realized an exceptional scenography for this exhibition.

Cate Blanchett, a great Friend of the Maison, was among the attendees of this Official Opening.
