This Van Cleef & Arpels blue sapphire and diamond ‘Camellia’ brooch evokes the spectacular blossom from Asia that possessed the European imagination from the late 18th century onward. Like their camellia-loving contemporary Coco Chanel, Van Cleef & Arpels designers were inspired by the sumptuous flower, creating this classic line of jewels that has been beloved since the 1950s. Pinned to a pale gown or jacket, this highly-stylized and sophisticated bloom is an instantly recognizable Van Cleef & Arpels jewel.
