The Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra jewelry collection was first introduced in 1968, since then the cloverleafs embodied in gold became a cult symbol of the jewelry brand and brought luck to many of their owners. Just for the beginning of summer and the end of the long quarantine, Van Cleef & Arpels prepared a gift for jewelry fans – a Vintage Alhambra pendant with shining beads of pink gold and rare gray nacre was added to the collection of precious four-leafers.
Van Cleef & Arpels artisans bring mother-of-pearl shimmering gray silk and mist from French Polynesia, where clam miners extract it from the inner walls of the shells. Each piece of jewelry undergoes 15 mandatory stages of production before the miniature piece of jewelry goes to the Van Cleef & Arpels showcase, and later – to its owner. We think the combination of pink and grey is the most delicate gift you can give yourself this season.
