Van Cleef & Arpels had an immediate hit on its hands when the
French luxury jewelry house introduced its Alhambra collection,
which includes the charming and exquisitely crafted Vintage
Alhambra necklace. Call it the result of the elegant design work
that is typical of the house as well as a bit of good luck. “To be
lucky, you must believe in luck.” This mantra was a favorite of
Jacques Arpels (1914–2008) — the nephew of Estelle Arpels, who
cofounded the maison with her husband, Alfred, in 1906 — and this
sentiment is embedded in the Vintage Alhambra necklace. The
Alhambra collection, as well as its varied subcategories, has come
to largely represent Van Cleef & Arpels. A favorite of
glamorous icons who range from Elizabeth Taylor to Kate Middleton,
Duchess of Cambridge, the celebrated maison’s signature line has
never gone out of production. Today, Alhambra includes several new
styles, with necklaces, watches, bracelets and rings embellished
with various gemstones. The first Alhambra jewel debuted in 1968.
It was an all-gold necklace dotted with 20 gold clovers, edged with
gold beads. At the time of its launch, casual and unadorned jewelry
was uncommon, and, owing to its simple beauty, delicacy and the
fact that it needn’t be set aside for formal wear, the Alhambra
necklace immediately garnered the adoration of women all over the
world. It’s a classic in the history of contemporary jewelry
design, but the origin of its instantly recognizable clover motif
has historical significance too. The quatrefoil shape is drawn from
keyhole arches that populate Moorish architecture, and the series
is named for the Alhambra palace in Granada, Spain, which Moorish
poets have deemed “a pearl set in emeralds” for its whitewashed
walls encircled by lush grasses and trees. Within a couple of years
of the Alhambra necklace’s debut, artisans at Van Cleef &
Arpels were setting the now-famous quatrefoil motif at the center
of the series with panels of colorful opaque hard stones, such as
malachite, lapis lazuli, onyx and more. What is now known as the
Vintage Alhambra collection, which includes rings, pendants and
more, is characterized by pieces that feature these stones and a
beaded border. The Vintage Alhambra necklace is also emblematic of
Van Cleef & Arpels’s long-standing commitment to fine
craftsmanship and its ability to establish enduring trends. With
such grand narratives — and prominent figures — linked to the
necklace, it is no wonder that it has remained so covetable and
beloved since its very first appearance.
