    Description

    Thank you for viewing this beautiful Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet and earrings set.  You'll find some VCA vintage bracelets on the market (although there are not many as they are heavily sought after) but you'll be hard pressed to find a set which includes both the bracelet and the earrings from this iconic French jewelry design house.  I find this design to be visually more appealing than the others I've seen -  it's beautiful but also typifies the classic late 60's early 70's design when Van Cleef & Arpels found itself at the height of its creativity.  The jewelry produced by VCA during this era are now considered to be masterpieces of 20th century design.  You'll have an item to wear and enjoy for its aesthetics but you'll also have a piece of jewelry design history. Make this the centerpiece of your collection and an heirloom to be appreciated for generations.
    The photos illustrate the gold gram content and the length and width of the bracelet and earrings.  The set weights 85.2 grams total with the bracelet weighting 61 grams and the earrings weighting 24.2 grams. The bracelet is a little under 6.5 inches.  As you can see the earrings do not have a post and has a uniquely designed clip on feature which is a typical characteristic of L'enfant designs.  It's very hard to make out the L'enfant hallmark on the lip of the bracelet as it's worn down a little from use as a result of its position on a frequently used movable part of the bracelet but based on the bracelet and earrings telltale design features, French production, the time period  and the general shape of the hallmark and a vaguely visible "G" within it, it's safe to say this is a L'enfant design.  As is illustrated in one of the photos, there is a document from Van Cleef dated from 1975 that looks to be a response to an inquiry regarding the pieces.  The document will be shipped with the items upon purchase. The set comes with the box shown in the photos.
