The basics of this craft are taught in only a few educational institutions that carefully select new talents that in the future can make sparkling the most beautiful gems in the world. However, dexterity, a sense of taste, a good eye and even the ability to "listen" to each stone in order to give it a perfect shape, reveal its color and show its true beauty, can only be acquired in practice.
Van Cleef & Arpels selects the best stones, giving his masters the opportunity to work with the rarest specimens created by nature. Only stones endowed with a special radiance, magical charm and a unique character are selected. However, the hands of the masters of Mains d'Or are able to turn them into something even more magnificent, repeatedly emphasizing their natural shine and radiance.
