Van Cleef & Arpels Rose de Noël Clip Pendant Small Model Lapis Lazuli Diamond 18K Yellow Gold
Rose de Noël clip pendant in the small model. Six carved Lapis Lazuli petals arranged around a central Fleurette motif set with six round brilliant-cut diamonds, DEF color, IF to VVS clarity, 0.48 carats total. 18K yellow gold. Transformable design functions as both a clip brooch and a pendant on the included adjustable chain. Reference VCARO9B700.
The Lapis Lazuli is cut into rounded heart-shaped petals with uniform deep blue saturation and minimal pyrite veining. Van Cleef & Arpels selects for consistency across all six stones, which is why the blue reads as a single unbroken field when the petals are viewed together rather than six individual pieces. The diamond Fleurette at center provides scale contrast: six small brilliant-cut stones surrounded by radiating gold wire stamens against the matte mineral surface of the Lapis. Yellow gold setting warms the blue without competing with it.

Collector's Insight: The Rose de Noël collection has been in continuous production since the 1970s, one of the longest-running lines in the Van Cleef & Arpels catalogue. The Lapis Lazuli version is one of five stone variations offered in the small model, alongside white mother-of-pearl, gray mother-of-pearl, carnelian, and onyx. Lapis reads as the most saturated option in the range. The transformable clip/pendant mechanism is standard to the small model, allowing two distinct wearing positions from one piece. The carved petal shape is specific to Rose de Noël and differs from the flat cabochon work used in the Alhambra line.
Resale Insight: Rose de Noël pieces in Lapis Lazuli hold steady resale positions because the stone variation has remained in the permanent collection. The small model clip pendant sits between the mini pendant and the medium clip in both scale and price hierarchy. Pristine condition with full set including the VCA certificate and original packaging is optimal positioning. Matching earrings in the same stone and size exist for collectors building a parure.
