If you can’t get enough of Van Cleef & Arpels’ Lucky Animals, you will be pleased to know that the French jeweller has recently unveiled a new collection coined Lucky Spring, a beautiful selection that includes bracelets, earrings, a necklace, as well as an enigmatic Lucky Spring Clip. All of them come decorated with ladybugs and delicate floral motifs, paying homage to the enchanting garden of flora and nature that Van Cleef & Arpels often associates itself with.

With the Lucky Spring Clip, a beautiful mix of carnelian, mother-of-pearl, onyx and rose gold all come together to add a vibrant touch of colour to your everyday outfit. Just pin it on the lapel of your jacket to add an element of surprise, or you can always attach it to a simple white tee to let the clip shine beautifully on its own.

All of the pieces are crafted by hand, starting with the beaded rose gold that forms the skeletal structure of the jewellery. Next, the cut stones like carnelian, onyx and mother-of-pearl are set within the ladybug and flowers (held in place by discreet and minute prongs), forming extraordinary creations that are delightful from every angle.

The Lucky Spring Clip (SGD10,300) is just one of six pieces in the collection, a new-in series that celebrates the beauty and vitality of nature. The ladybug is an obvious choice for the collection, holding a special place as one of Van Cleef & Arpels’ ‘good-luck animals’ dating back to the 1930s, making perfect sense that it’s chosen as the key element in the Lucky Spring collection. And the good news? All the pieces from the collection, from the clip to the earrings and even the bracelets and necklaces, are now available at Van Cleef & Arpels’ boutiques across the island.
