Symbolizing luck, the Alhambra collection is inspired by the four-leaf clover. It embodies Jacques Arpels’ belief that ”To be lucky, you have to believe in luck,” and has become one of the most iconic creations of the Maison since 1968.
In keeping with Van Cleef & Arpels’ tradition of excellence, the Alhambra collection embodies all the expertise of the Maison. The varied skills of lapidaries, jewelers, stone-setters and polishers come together to create each piece. Elegant and fanciful, the Alhambra creations gracefully echo the wearer’s movements, thanks to their fluid and pure lines.
Blending timeless elegance with a contemporary feel, the Alhambra collection has been seducing women since its creation. From princess Grace of Monaco to actress Romy Schneider and singer Françoise Hardy, the Alhambra long necklace has conquered the hearts of style icons with its diverse materials.
To celebrate the beauty of nature, the Alhambra collection has taken on a broad palette of materials: white and grey mother-of-pearl, malachite, carnelian, lapis lazuli, hammered gold, diamonds… A genuine icon of jewelry, it has adopted a variety of colors and different-sized motifs throughout the years.
Encompassed by a delicate beaded silhouette, Alhambra creations are soft and refined pieces. Adorning a neck or gracefully ornamenting any outfit, they can be mixed together to create one’s own personalized style. Like a token of luck, Alhambra is created to accompany its wearer day after day.
Luck is in sight
