Overview:
Stylish estate Van Cleef & Arpels "Chapeau Chinois" bracelet crafted in 18 karat yellow gold (circa early 2000s).
Timeless and oh so chic, the "Chapeau Chinois" collection by Van Cleef & Arpels was originally created in 1931 for the Paris Exposition Coloniale Internationale, a fair that highlighted diverse arts and cultures. Van Cleef & Arpels, ever so ingenious, transformed a traditional Chinese hat to form the collection of bold, high polished and timeless jewels. The collection was re-launched in 2000 with the bracelet (the matching ring is also available for sale) belonging to the later revival series. Measuring 30mm diameter (1.18 inches), the six round discs make a great statement on the wrist, perfect for day or evening wear.
The bracelet is in very good condition and was recently lightly cleaned and polished.
