Alhambra - The Heritage Gallery by Van Cleef & Arpels

Alhambra

"To be lucky, you need to believe in luck," as Jacques Arpels used to say. A Maison lucky charm, the Alhambra motif is inspired by the four-leaf clover. The first long necklace, in creased yellow gold, was created in 1968. The collection has been enriched over the years with added functions and materials.

Precious Lucky Charm

A value dear to Van Cleef & Arpels, luck has often guided its steps and inspired its creations, such as jewelry with wooden talismans, charms and ladybugs. Jacques Arpels enjoyed picking four-leaf clovers to offer them, along with the poem, "Don’t Quit," a reminder to never give up hope.
