This long love of the brand for Ballet started with the encounter of George Balanchine co-founder of the New York City Ballet and Claude Arpels in 1939s when Balanchine visited Van Cleef & Arpels’ boutique on Fifth Avenue to discover the Maison’s most beautiful creations. 

 

From their shared passion for stones was born an artistic relationship that resulted in Balanchine’s new ballet and its sumptuous costumes: Jewels.
