True to the original aesthetic established in 1968, the Vintage Alhambra® long necklace reveals a symphony of carnelian motifs. In elegant harmony, the vibrant hue of the ornamental stone meets the radiance of 18K yellow gold. Each of the 20 motifs is framed by the Maison’s signature double-beaded contour, enhancing the luminosity of the piece. The creation can be worn long or doubled around the neck.
Carnelian is a variety of chalcedony that belongs to the microcrystalline quartz family. The carnelians that the Maison chooses can show variations in shades, textures and opacity which make it possible to constitute uniform sets of stones ranging from intense red to bright orange.
For its creations, Van Cleef & Arpels carefully selects a very small proportion of rough stones to pick the most beautiful pieces with the liveliest colors.
The colors of carnelian are often balanced by lapidaries using specific techniques in order to achieve homogeneous undertones. The Maison seeks to obtain the highest level of polish in each stone in order to bring out its full beauty.
