During its peak mid-century era, Arfan Paris frequently commissioned elite Parisian workshops. Notably, they worked closely with master jeweler Andre Vassort - the same legendary craftsman who created iconic pieces for Van Cleef \u0026amp; Arpels and Boucheron. Arfan ceased operations in the late 1980s and today their pieces are highly sought after by collectors.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a bold architectural and blocky look, the combination of citrine and luminous mother of pearl is striking.
