Description
Stylish estate Van Cleef & Arpels "Chapeau Chinois" ring crafted in 18 karat yellow gold (circa early 2000s). Timeless & oh so chic, the "Chapeau Chinois" collection by Van Cleef & Arpels was originally created in 1931 for the Paris Exposition Coloniale Internationale, a fair that highlighted diverse arts & cultures. Van Cleef & Arpels, ever so ingenious, transformed a traditional Chinese hat to form the collection of bold, high polished & timeless jewels. The collection was re-launched in 2000 with the ring (the matching bracelet is also available for sale) belonging to the later revival series. The ring opens to accommodate a photo or keepsake. The medium rise ring (11mm - 0.43 inches) sits comfortably on the finger, a great ring for day or evening wear. The ring is in very good condition & was recently lightly cleaned & polished.
