Butterfly or Lucky Animals
Graff · Van Cleef & Arpels
Butterfly
The butterfly drawn in diamonds, from a pavé outline with an open centre to full wings of pear-shape and marquise stones.
Lucky Animals
Small animal clips built from hard-stone marquetry, malachite, tiger's eye, onyx and mother-of-pearl, each inside a contour of gold beads.
Lucky Animals, presented by Van Cleef & Arpels in October 2017, are opaque and warm: malachite, carnelian, tiger's eye, onyx and mother-of-pearl fitted into small creatures and edged with gold beads, each with an onyx eye. Graff's butterfly is transparent and cool, wings of white diamonds in pear and marquise cuts, or an outline in pavé, with sapphires, rubies or tourmalines in its coloured versions. The Paris clips have faces and moods, and the London butterfly answers with symmetry.
