Detailed description

Van Cleef & Arpels is one of the most famous fine jewelry houses in the world. This brand, founded in Paris in the late 19th century, is known for its exquisite haute joaillerie creations. Their Alhambra design is a classic and has a storied reputation. Its unique quatrefoil motif has become an instantly recognizable symbol of the house.

The Alhambra is inspired by the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain. Named after the red walls, the Alhambra is the only surviving royal territorial center of Islamic Golden Age. A number of rare stones are used in the design. Among the most popular are mother of pearl and onyx.

Van Cleef & Arpels has designed a number of iterations of the Alhambra. Some of these have been limited editions and special capsule collections. During the last 50 years, the brand has reshaped and refreshed the iconic design. Today, you can find the Alhambra in a variety of gemstones and a range of different styles.

The Alhambra collection is a favorite among many celebrities and aficionados. For instance, Grace Kelly has been a longtime fan. She has worn two or three of the iconic necklaces at a time.

However, the Alhambra is not all luck. The brand also incorporated hard stones into its designs. In 1994, Maison Van Cleef & Arpels introduced rock crystal. And, in 2001, it launched the Pure Alhambra collection. These pieces feature different-sized quatrefoils in smooth, burnished finishes.

With a wide selection of gemstones and a plethora of design variations, the Alhambra is a popular choice for jewellery resale. In fact, some styles are sold for more than their retail value. But the real beauty of this collection lies in its timeless appeal.

Whether you are a newbie looking to add to your Van Cleef & Arpels collection or a seasoned buyer of the brand’s jewelry, the Alhambra is a great starting point. You can buy a variety of iterations from Vintage to Pure and Magic to Byzantine, and you are sure to find the perfect piece to suit your personal style.

Materials

Van Cleef & Arpels is one of the world’s most renowned jewelry houses. It is known for exquisite haute joaillerie creations. One of the brand’s most iconic collections is the Alhambra. With this collection, the house explores nature’s symbols of good fortune.

The Alhambra is inspired by the 8th-century Moorish palace in Granada, Spain. Since its launch in the late nineteenth century, the line has continued to evolve. Currently, it features a wide variety of rare stones and gemstones. In addition, the collection is available in several design variations.

When Van Cleef & Arpels originally created the Alhambra in 1968, it was crafted with 20 clover-shaped motifs, encased in creased yellow gold. Each of these motifs was surrounded by golden beads. This was the first opera-length necklace that the brand produced.

In the 1970s, the design was popular among celebrities. Grace Kelly, for example, was a longtime devotee of the brand. She often wore two or three different Alhambra necklaces at a time.

While the Alhambra’s quatrefoil design is a symbol of good luck, the line also contains a variety of other designs. These include the Byzantine Alhambra, Lucky Alhambra, Pure Alhambra, and Magic Alhambra. Moreover, the collection is available in various limited editions and gemstone types.

One of the most recognizable and popular fine jewellery motifs of all time, the Alhambra is a signature design that has been refreshed in the past 50 years. It is now available in pink mother of pearl and guilloche rose gold. Among its most important qualities, the Alhambra is made to last.

Over the years, the Alhambra line has expanded to include bracelets, rings, watches, and more. Despite the wide array of materials, the brand is still adamant about using traditional inlayers. Consequently, this means that the carat weight and stone amounts of the pieces may differ. However, this does not mean that the investment value of the piece is any less.

The Alhambra collection’s storied reputation has made it one of the most sought-after collections on the resale market. In fact, it retains a substantial portion of its retail value.

Care instructions

The Van Cleef & Arpels Magic Alhambra long necklace VCARO49L00 is a beautiful piece of jewelry that is both elegant and versatile. This asymmetric necklace consists of onyx and gray mother of pearl. Although it is not the cheapest, it is a nice addition to any wardrobe.

There are many gemstones that make appearances in the Alhambra collection. Some of the more interesting ones include the onyx and malachite, but agate, mother of pearl, and rock crystal also make a showing. However, while the onyx is always black, the agate gemstone is always blue.

As far as the best way to display the agate, a nice fabric jewelry box is probably the way to go. This is also a good time to clean the agate, as it is easy to scratch or damage. Luckily for the wearer, Van Cleef & Arpels does offer stone replacement services if a stone is ever damaged.

In the end, it comes down to how you choose to wear your Magic Alhambra necklace. If you opt to wear it every day, then it is best to choose a solid gold piece. However, if you are looking for a piece that you can wear on the weekend, then a diamond would do the trick. For the budget minded, a mother of pearl necklace is a cinch to find. It is also a relatively inexpensive material that looks fantastic on anyone.

Onyx is also a popular stone for a reason. Its resale value is high, making it an excellent investment. Plus, its opaque and semi-transparent features ensure that the natural hues of the stone will show through and out of view. While it is not the most durable gemstone, it does stand up well to everyday wear and tear.

Despite all this, the Magic Alhambra long necklace is a bit of a splurge, so be sure to plan your budget accordingly. Fortunately, Van Cleef & Arpels offers a range of sizes and designs, so there should be something to suit your taste. The VCA Magic Alhambra long necklace can be worn on its own or with other pieces of the Magic Alhambra necklace collection.

It also had signature beaded edges that added a little detail to the design. In the 1970s, the design became especially popular with celebrities.

Throughout the decades, the Alhambra has been revised and redesigned by the designers at Van Cleef & Arpels. This includes adding a new variety of gemstones each decade.
