A celebration of renewal, fortune and gentle beginnings arrives once again with the Lunar New Year — a season when wishes are spoken softly and hope feels almost tangible in the air. This year of the horse, Van Cleef & Arpels greets the festive moment with the quiet poetry that has long defined the Maison: nature in motion, light captured in gold, and symbolism rendered in precious stones.
At the heart of the story is the Two Butterfly collection, where delicate wings appear suspended mid-flight. Through subtle asymmetry and vibrant gemstones, each piece evokes a fleeting moment of spring — a butterfly drifting between blossoms just as the first warm breeze returns. The pendant, earrings and Between the Finger ring shimmer with a kaleidoscope of colour, embodying transformation, freedom and the promise of new beginnings. In many traditions, butterflies herald good fortune; here, they become luminous messengers of the year ahead.
Luck continues in the Lucky Animals Horse Clip, a gentle and endearing figure shaped with the Maison’s signature golden beaded contour. The horse, a symbol of vitality and perseverance, arrives not as power but as benevolence — a quiet companion believed to carry prosperity forward into the coming months.
Nature unfolds further in the Lady Arpels Heures Florales watch. Inspired by botanical clocks, time reveals itself not through hands, but through flowers that bloom and close in delicate choreography across the dial. Each hour becomes a living garden — a reminder that time, like spring, is cyclical and full of renewal.
Completing the story, the Frivole ring, 8 flowers sparkles like sunlight scattered across petals. Mirror-polished gold and diamonds create heart-shaped blooms that dance with every movement, echoing fields awakening after winter.
With these creations, Van Cleef & Arpels transforms celebration into sentiment — jewellery not merely worn, but felt. As lanterns glow and wishes are exchanged, the Maison invites us to begin the year with grace, optimism and a little wonder.
Discover the collection at Van Cleef & Arpels boutique at Pavilion KL and welcome the new year in brilliance.
