Of zip design, set with brilliant-cut diamonds is a gold and diamond necklace, 'Zip', from Van Cleef & Arpels. Inspired by the world of textile, a trimming bell adorns the slider and allows you to close the necklace like a real zipper, in order to transform this jewel into a bracelet. This icon of the Maison has known multiple variations, in metals and gems. However, this pink gold piece is a highly fabrication of a truly iconic design. This gold and diamond ‘Zip’ necklace will be offered as a part of Sotheby’s Luxury Week in Geneva in the Magnificent Jewels and Noble Jewels sale on 16 May.
