Van Cleef & Arpels Miniaudiere

Van Cleef & Arpels presents The Art and Science of Gems with the participation of the French National Museum of Natural History at the ArtScience Museum in Singapore from April 23rd August 14th, 2016. The Art and Science of Gems is a unique exhibition which explores both the artistic skills required for the creation of exquisite jewellery, and the scientific processes involved in the formation of minerals and gemstones. This exhibition blends art, craft, history and geoscience in a highly distinctive manner, taking visitors on a dramatic journey that begins with the origin of minerals in space, and culminates with the extraordinary craftsmanship that transfigures these gems into works of art. http://www.artscienceofgems.vancleefa...
