The Alhambra motif, emblem of luck, embodies a positive vision of life dear to Van Cleef & Arpels. Since its creation in 1968, this collection has continuously evolved, introducing combinations of materials, various functionalities, and adaptations in motif sizes. The deep sheen of guilloché yellow gold pairs with the nuances of blue agate on the new Alhambra creations.
Slight natural variations in opacity of the blue agate imbue the creations with their uniqueness and charm
Paired with ornamental stones or diamonds, the guilloché motif captivates the gaze with its luminous reflections
The sunbeam-like streaks delicately texture guilloché gold surfaces
Gracefully ornamenting the silhouette, the creations can be mixed together to create one’s own personalized style
A beaded contour − typical of Van Cleef & Arpels’ style − borders each motif
Inspired by the four-leaf clover, the Alhambra motif has led to a great variety of creations
With the Vintage Alhambra reversible ring, the Maison introduced a transformative piece rooted in the tradition of convertible jewels. The two faces creation—one in guilloché yellow gold set with a diamond, the other in blue agate— and double-beaded contour echo the collection’s aesthetic codes. A pendant, watch and earrings, in blue agate, complete the set.
The Alhambra collection demonstrates Van Cleef & Arpels’ jewelry savoir-faire and expertise. It is particularly noted for its stone selection and rich palette of materials and hues.
