Van Cleef & Arpels Owl Pendant Necklace In 18K Gold

A small guardian rendered in gold and light.

Animal jewels have long occupied a cherished place in the world of Van Cleef & Arpels, where whimsy and refinement coexist with remarkable ease. This charming owl pendant reflects the maison’s enduring fascination with nature and storytelling, transformed here into a jewel of quiet sophistication and delicate wit.

Crafted in warm 18K yellow gold, the owl is centered by a luminous mother-of-pearl body whose soft iridescence contrasts beautifully against finely sculpted gold feathers. Brilliant-cut diamonds illuminate the face with subtle sparkle, while vivid ruby eyes lend warmth, personality, and life to the composition. Suspended from a slender gold chain, the pendant feels playful yet impeccably restrained—an everyday jewel elevated by craftsmanship and thoughtful detail.

Signed and numbered, the necklace captures the spirit that has made Van Cleef & Arpels one of the great jewelers of the twentieth century: elegance without severity, charm without excess.

A jewel of wit and refinement—gentle, luminous, and unmistakably Van Cleef & Arpels.
