Spring rendered in precious miniature. This Van Cleef & Arpels Lucky Spring clip presents a vivid meeting of sculptural goldwork, deep onyx, glowing red carnelian and iridescent mother-of-pearl. Rather than relying on a single gemstone, its design gathers different colours and surfaces into a jewellery composition with a distinctive sense of movement and light.

The Piece

Reference VCARP7RS00. The Lucky Spring collection explores delicate natural motifs through the Parisian maison's vocabulary of fine-jewellery craftsmanship. Here, a clip brooch becomes a compact wearable tableau, bringing together warm 18-karat rose gold with dramatic contrasts of mineral colour and luminous shell.

Materials and Dimensions

The piece is described as 18K pink gold with onyx, carnelian and mother-of-pearl. Its approximately 55 × 20 mm outline offers an elegant elongated accent, suitable for a lapel, scarf or carefully chosen outerwear. Reported jewellery weight is approximately 13.3 grams. A guarantee document is listed among the included accessories; its precise scope and issuer should be verified before relying on it as independent authentication.

Iconography and Style

Black onyx provides a composed visual anchor, while red carnelian introduces warmth and the iridescent surface of mother-of-pearl changes gently with the light. These variations make the jewel expressive even from a modest distance. Against velvet or dark wool, the colours emerge with clarity; on ivory and warm neutrals, the rose-gold framework becomes especially prominent.

Condition

Pre-owned, presented in a like-new condition category. Minor surface scratches or faint marks associated with handling and storage may be present. Neither the precious materials nor the decorative surfaces have been independently tested by Japonista. Please inspect the actual-item photographs and request detail images of the clasp, reverse and included document if needed.

Collector Relevance

A particularly engaging example of the maison's ability to create richly coloured naturalistic jewels at an intimate scale. Its appeal resides in the disciplined balance of colour, material contrast and recognizable design language.
