Summon Lady Luck with these Van Cleef & Arpels jewels she’d approve of
Plum blossoms, lily of the valley, and ladybugs may not be your idea of compelling talismans, but we bet they’d charm anyone quite easily.

Springtime is often associated with renewal, optimism, and beauty. And if there’s one thing that could make this season and the year ahead even better, it’s that little extra bit of good fortune.
Enter Van Cleef & Arpels’ Lucky Spring jewellery, a radiant celebration of nature and fortune, where three meaningful motifs come together in a symphony of rose gold, mother-of-pearl, onyx, and carnelian.
Since its debut in 2021, the Lucky Spring collection has been a poetic expression of the maison’s long-standing love affair with nature and its belief in the power of good fortune. This year’s shimmering new creations continue that tradition, bringing to life the delicate beauty of plum blossoms, the timeless charm of lily of the valley, and the cheerful spirit of ladybugs — each a symbol of renewal, joy, and serendipity.
Wear a little luck on your fingers, wrists, and neck
The plum blossom, that brave little flower that dares to bloom in winter, takes centre stage as a beacon of resilience and fresh beginnings. With its soft, luminous mother-of-pearl petals, it adds an ethereal glow to rings, pendants, and bracelets.
Meanwhile, the lily of the valley — a flower that has long symbolised happiness and good luck in Europe — appears as soft, sculpted buds crafted with the maison’s signature finesse. This fragrant bell-shaped flower is often associated with purity, sweetness, and the return of joy, making it the perfect emblem of spring’s promise.
And the ladybug, nature’s most adorable insect, flits across the collection in gleaming carnelian and onyx, its wings poised as if about to take flight and sprinkle a little happiness wherever it lands. Throughout history across cultures, the ladybug has been considered a harbinger of good tidings and positive change.
Three symbols of good fortune combine forces in the Lucky Spring collection
With its rounded form and striking colour contrast, the ladybug in the Lucky Spring collection serves as a delightful reminder that luck is often granted in the smallest of things that we ought to be grateful for.
Each piece in the Lucky Spring collection demonstrates Van Cleef & Arpels’ exceptional craftsmanship. From the meticulous selection of stones to the intricate lost-wax casting technique that brings the gold beading to life, every detail is designed to enchant.
And because fortune should always shine from every angle, these delicate motifs are exquisitely finished on both sides — so they sparkle no matter how they’re worn. So, whether you’re a firm believer in luck or simply someone who appreciates whimsical fine jewellery, the Lucky Spring collection is here to scatter some magic dust into your life.
