Van Cleef & Arpels: The Zip Necklace
A triumph of imagination, craftsmanship, and Parisian elegance, the Zip Necklace by Van Cleef & Arpels is one of the Maison’s most ingenious creations.
Conceived in the 1930s, inspired by the humble zipper and transformed into an object of extraordinary luxury, this remarkable jewel embodies the audacity of haute joaillerie.
When unzipped, it becomes a graceful necklace; when closed, it transforms into a sumptuous bracelet a perfect union of versatility and sophistication.
The idea is said to have emerged from a suggestion by the Duchess of Windsor, while its realization required years of technical refinement before the design entered the Maison’s repertoire in the 1950s.
More than a jewel, the Zip is a testament to the enduring dialogue between innovation and timeless beauty.
A sculptural masterpiece where engineering meets poetry, and function becomes art.

Apparently, there are now over 7,000 of you following the daily activities of a retired greyhound on a Scottish island.
I’m not entirely sure why.
I mostly sleep, eat cheese and complain about the weather.
But I’m very glad you’re all here.
Thank you, everyone
Cheerio!
