Zippers – Van Cleef and Arpels – Duchess of Windsor

The Zipper necklace, Duchess of Windsor

Baltimore gal, Duchess of Windsor with Van Cleef & Arpels, turned a utility piece into a coveted luxe item, the “Zipper” necklace. The necklace can be unzipped into a bracelet and a necklace.
A very, very  practical piece of jewelry in all senses. The Duchess of Windsor wore the iconic
” Zipper ” necklace both ways. A necklace that  takes the eye to décolleté and bracelet with a tassel that has the je ne sais qoui!

Luckily for the ones who have fallen in love with the Zipper necklace, la maison has reintroduced it this Spring.
