The Lady Arpels Ballerines Musicales is Van Cleef & Arpels’ newest addition to its suite of Poetic Complications, which is inspired by one of the Arpels’ other loves – ballet. Louis Arpels was often known to walk to the Opéra Garnier, a short distance from his Place Vendôme boutique, to see a ballet with his nephew Claude. Such was their love for the art form that in the early 1940s, by which time the family had moved to New York, Van Cleef & Arpels created its first ballerina clips, which today is one of the house’s most distinguishable designs.
HOMAGE TO BALLET
This affinity with ballet profoundly deepened as Claude met choreographer and co-founder of the New York City Ballet, George Balanchine, with whom he shared a passion not only for ballet, but also for gems. This led to Balanchine producing a ballet, Jewels, which debuted in New York in 1967. Each act of the non-narrative triptych linked a gemstone to a musical composer: Fauré for Emeralds, Stravinsky for Rubies and Tchaikovsky for Diamonds.
