PLAYS OF LIGHT AND COLOR
Intense reflections of guilloché rose
gold combine with dazzling nuances of carnelian
to give rise to four new Alhambra creations, a glow
with tender harmonies. These new pieces include
a reversible ring that enchants the gaze with these materials, according to the wearer’s fancy. This new design,
offered for the first time within the collection,
reflects the tradition of versatility that is unique to
the Maison and its distinctive emblem. An iconic aesthetic of Van
Cleef & Arpels since 1968, the Alhambra motif draws inspiration from the four-leaf clover, celebrating luck through
constantly reinvented jewelry and watchmaking
creations.
AN ORIGINAL ALLIANCE OF ICONIC MATERIALS
Since its creation, the Alhambra collection
has stood out as an emblem of
Van Cleef & Arpels, lending itself to many
elegant variations intended to
highlight particular moments and materials.
Today, the motifs alternate in
perfect harmony on both a Vintage Alhambra
bracelet and long necklace, and a Sweet Alhambra watch,
associating the soft glow of rose gold with the warm hue of
carnelian. A material dear to the Maison, this ornamental stone elevates the pieces with its red-orange nuances. Meanwhile, rose gold
unveils tender, shifting reflections thanks to
a guilloché effect, a signature of the collection since 2018.
The sunbeam-like streaks adorning the motif
impart a subtle relief to the surface of the precious
metal, sparking an intense whirlwind of light that captivates the gaze.
