L'École Van Cleef & Arpels

If you want to be able to say more about fine jewellery than “oooh, pretty!”, then it might be time to go back to school - gem school, to be precise. This educational facility launched by Van Cleef & Arpels offers in-depth courses on technique, history and materials. For those new to the subject, there's a two and a half hour introductory course (in French).
