Turquoise, pearls, diamonds, and plenty of eye-popping coloured gemstones make up the one-of-a-kind jewels of the Van Cleef & Arpels high-jewellery collection Treasure Island.

Van Cleef & Arpels has a penchant for creating breathtaking ornamentation, and its latest high-jewellery collection draws inspiration from Treasure Island, the literary classic by Robert Louis Stevenson. The fantastic voyage of splendours is divided into three parts. Chapter 1, “The Adventure at Sea,” celebrates nautical references from navigation instruments to sailors knots. The second chapter, “Exploring the Island,” is dedicated to a recurring theme of the maison—nature—with flowers, seashells, and trees. The final chapter, “The Treasure Hunt,” gathers precious stones and metals from around the world. If you’re on a hunt for one-of-a kind jewellery, then Van Cleef & Arpels’s Treasure Island collection is where X marks the spot.
