The creation of Van Cleef & Arpels’ Alhambra collection was no accident. It is a tale of luck, elegance, and masterful craftsmanship—a design that has endured for generations.
The Alhambra series draws its inspiration from the founders’ unwavering belief in fortune. The four-leaf clover motif, intricately woven into each piece, symbolizes health, wealth, love, and happiness. This vision resonated deeply with a society yearning for prosperity, quickly establishing the collection as a beloved icon.
Since the debut of the first Alhambra long necklace in 1968, the series has evolved, showcasing Van Cleef & Arpels’ meticulous attention to materials. From classic gold and mother-of-pearl to rare diamonds and gemstones, each element is carefully selected and cut to perfection, ensuring unparalleled brilliance and color.
More than mere jewelry, the Alhambra collection embodies emotion and aspiration. Its timeless elegance and symbolic meaning have made it a cherished heirloom, witnessing countless milestones and personal stories.
