Much brighter than the Sun, Cepheids are giant stars whose intense brilliance varies rhythmically from week to week. They have provided Van Cleef & Arpels with the inspiration for the Céphéide set, which depicts the radiance of these heavenly bodies in a bold gradation of shades.
Punctuated by mauve sapphire, tsavorite garnet and diamond motifs, the necklace showcases eleven chalcedony cabochons, weighing a total of 159.72 carats. Their translucent material captures the light, enhancing the softness of their slightly grayish blue. On the detachable pendant, 21 two-tone baguette-cut tanzanites present an astonishing gradation from blue to mauve, echoing the color of the chalcedonies. In a spirit of metamorphosis, this pendant can be worn as a clip, on a diamond-set structure that shows through from underneath.
