Crafted from materials such as kaolin, porcelain takes shape in the Sèvres workshops following techniques passed down from generation to generation. The material is then hand-colored with pigments. Its creation requires about twenty steps, such as firing, polishing, and enameling. Throughout this meticulous process, the material reveals the depth of its color and its refined luster.

Once shaped, the porcelain motifs are united with their gold setting using a specific setting technique, developed by the Maison to adapt to the material's characteristics. Highlighted by Van Cleef & Arpels' emblematic double beaded contour, the Alhambra creations in Sèvres porcelain express the combination of jewelry savoir-faire and artisanal crafts in a precious interplay of materials.
