Van Cleef & Arpels are dedicated and truly passionate about what they do. True virtuosos of their craft, the jewellers, polishers, designers and gem setters, see their work as more like a hobby or a way of life that combines artisanal skill with pleasure.
More than a few of Van Cleef & Arpels’ ‘golden hands’ have been working for the maison for decades, often hailing from families that are also in the jewel-making trade. Thus, Van Cleef & Arpels fosters an extended family of some of the best jewel designers and makers in the world, and ensures that their skills are honed and challenged by a constant search for innovation and the highest standards of quality. Apart from jewellers, stone sorters, gem setters and the like, the jewellery house also employs moke-up makers, engravers, sculptors, painters and many other artists who help create the elaborate, one-off artefacts seen in Van Cleef & Arpels’ collections.
