Van Cleef & Arpels Sapphire and Diamond “Camellia” Earrings
This pair of Van Cleef & Arpels "Camellia" earrings evoke the camellia flower in strikingly beautiful blue sapphires and diamonds. Modeled to hug the ear, these clip-back, sparkling flowers-to-wear enhance the eyes and face. Like their camellia-loving contemporary Coco Chanel, Van Cleef & Arpels were inspired by the classic flower, designing this iconic line of stylized jewels that has been beloved since the 1950s.
