WE PULL UP ON THE DRIVEWAY of the century-old former home of the Nai Lert family, one of Thailand’s most prominent. A calm, lush expanse of parkland strewn with heritage buildings, the Nai Lert Park Heritage Home is miles away from the noise and traffic of the city of Bangkok, providing a welcome sense of peace as we prepare to view Van Cleef & Arpels’ latest high jewellery collection, Treasure of Rubies.
And serenity is what is required to fully appreciate the pageantry of the collection, which comprises a staggering 3,000 carats of rubies set in 60 high jewellery pieces—20 of which are transformable—displayed on white stone busts.
