São Paulo becomes the setting for the much-anticipated Spring is Blooming experience, an immersive installation created by the prestigious high jewelry maison Van Cleef & Arpels. On display at Shopping Cidade Jardim from October 7 to 30, 2026, the installation celebrates nature's renewal, weaving the fascination of precious gems together with graphic art in a space for pure urban contemplation.

After visiting cosmopolitan addresses such as New York, the project arrives in Brazil, reaffirming São Paulo's relevance on the global circuit of art, design and the prestige market. The initiative invites visitors to discover the maison's lyrical heritage, which has found its most enduring muses in flora and fauna since its founding on Place Vendôme, in Paris, in 1906.

## Charlotte Gastaut's visual narrative and the delicacy of detail

The Brazilian edition's aesthetic identity carries the delicate strokes of French illustrator Charlotte Gastaut, a longtime partner of the maison. Inspired by the botanical universe and graceful fauna found throughout the jeweler's collection, the artist created three-dimensional installations, arches of foliage, scenic butterflies and playful panels that fill the space's walkways.

The idea creates an atmosphere of serenity and reconnection. The meeting of hand drawing and the technical perfection of the Parisian workshops highlights how patience, time and craftsmanship link the illustrations to pieces sculpted in gold, mother-of-pearl and precious stones.

## Nature as an aesthetic heritage and an endless source of inspiration

The tribute to spring revisits one of the most fascinating chapters in Van Cleef & Arpels' history. Alongside the worlds of dance and haute couture, nature gave rise to legendary creations, such as the delicate structured brooches, the famous Alhambra line and the floral contours of the Frivole collection.

At the São Paulo installation, emblematic creations and pieces from the Lucky Spring line are showcased beside the sculptures, revealing the mastery of the maison's artisans (the Mains d'Or) in giving each element of nature lightness, movement and a singular brilliance.

At the same time, the maison's boutique at Shopping Cidade Jardim welcomes guests and collectors for exclusive moments of hospitality. The calendar includes workshops on floral arrangement design and an afternoon tea ritual, creating intimate gatherings marked by timeless sophistication.

## A striking encounter between high jewelry and urban sensitivity

By bringing the charm of flowers and the magic of illustration into an everyday space, Van Cleef & Arpels reinforces that true luxury lives in the poetry of simple things and respect for natural beauty.
