Their timeless pieces have been worn by style icons such as Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly and the Duchess of Windsor. Van Cleef’s impressive reputation is due to their unique sense of detail, frivolity and femininity, which is evident in this beautiful feather that has been turned into diamonds, set in platinum. Look at the perfect angle of the quill and the gentle, random overlapping of the plumes, that lends this piece its asymmetrical perfection.Please note: condition reports and additional photos are available upon request.
