Cinetique cocktail ring designed by Van Cleef & Arpels.

Beautiful and very rare vintage piece made in Paris, France by the house of Van Cleef & Arpels, back in the 1970. This kinetic movable heart ring, was crafted in solid yellow gold of 18 karats and embellished on top, with a cabochon bombe cut carved from dark rosewood.

The design is composed of a heart-shaped piece tied to an oval ring, which moves freely. The effect it produces is in three dimensions and gives the visual sensation that it floats in the air.

Weight: 14.25 grams, (9.14 Dwt).

Size: 5.75, can be sized.

Measurements: From the top view is 26 mm by 20 mm (1.02 x 0.79 Inches).

Hallmarks: Stamped, with French marks; the eagle's head for the assay and guaranty of the 18 kt gold, the maker's cartouche mark of P et Fils (Pery & Sons), the serial numbers and signed, "VAN CLEEF & ARPELS .750 B5996-520".

Péry et Cie traces its roots back to 1875 when Monsieur Lucien Péry decided to expand his glove making company by diversifying into jewelry, beginning by making gold chains. At the beginning of the 20th Century he was joined in the firm by his son Albert who would go on to forge collaborative relationships with many of the prestigious Maisons of the Place Vendôme. Alongside Boucheron and Chaumet, one of the most significant of these was Van Cleef & Arpels. Albert was introduced to the Arpels brothers and soon after began producing jewellery for the firm, with the archives showing that the first piece, a gold bracelet, was made in 1925.  Albert soon became friendly with Renée Puissant, the daughter of Esther Arpels and Alfred Van Cleef and this connection strengthened the association between the two companies. Péry et Cie were responsible for making the famous ‘passe-partout’ jewels for VCA (they made over 260 pieces for this collection) and these wonderful floral pieces are said to have inspired Renée to refer to Albert as a ‘petit fleuriste’. Other iconic Van Cleef designs to originate in the Péry workshop include the Ludo bracelets, Zip necklaces and many of the La Boutique animal brooches. (From Hancocks with thanks).
