Condition Notes: This diamond and platinum wedding ring set from Van Cleef & Arpels stands out as an enduring statement of love. The quintessential engagement ring features a central round brilliant-cut diamond accompanied by a GIA report, accented by tapered baguette-cut diamonds at the shoulders, and marked inside the shank "Van Cleef & Arpels 32496 SO." A simplistic platinum band goes with the diamond ring, marked "V.C. SO 1048," and contains a hidden message, "LOVE FOREVER 6-16-61." The diamond ring displays evidence of prior resizing, and both rings show a patina consistent with age and regular wear. The set comes in the original black velvet Van Cleef & Arpels ring box.
Van Cleef & Arpels: Parisian jeweler Alfred Van Cleef opened his salon in partnership with his brothers-in-law, Julien and Charles Arpels, in 1906. The company quickly earned a reputation for using only the highest-quality colored gemstones. Their timeless designs employed elegant curves and clean, fluid lines, capturing the essence of beauty in motion. In 1930, the firm patented the first minaudiere, a purse-like compartmentalized vanity case. In 1933, Van Cleef and Arpels introduced "invisible setting" or "mystery setting." This innovative technique took the market by storm. The firm continues under the umbrella of the Richemont Group.
