Van Cleef & Arpels

Experience the epitome of 1970s glamour with these bold Van Cleef & Arpels 'Manchette' bracelets, a testament to the house's daring creativity and innovative design. Inspired by the hammered gold work of ancient Etruscan culture, blended with the cratered texture of the moon, reminiscent of Neil Armstrong's 1969 lunar landing, these bracelets seamlessly integrate historical motifs with modern style.

An identical pair, famously captured on the wrists of style icon Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in a 1977 photo of her and Muhammad Ali, are as eye-catching as the image’s celebrity subjects. Similarly fashion-forward to the former First Lady, the cuffs’ current owner’s jet-setting lifestyle saw her bouncing effortlessly between Rome, Lugano and Paris, and featured prominently in magazines and news publications along her glamorous journey. These sculptural cuffs exemplify both adventurous taste and a commitment to sophistication, emblematic of Van Cleef & Arpels’ exploration and experimentation during this period.
