Since its opening on the Place Vendôme in 1906, the jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels has played a leading role in setting style and design trends in luxury jewelry. Set in Style explores the historical significance of the firm's contributions to jewelry design in the 20th century. The book features more than 250 of Van Cleef & Arpels' most celebrated works from museum and private collections worldwide, including jewels, timepieces, fashion accessories and objets d'art. Six accessible essays accompanied by nearly 300 photographs, including previously unpublished design drawings from the Van Cleef & Arpels archives, examine the precious pieces through the lenses of innovation, transformation, nature, exoticism, fashion and celebrity.
