Inspired by four-leaf clovers and meant to bring good luck, the Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra motif has been an easily recognizable symbol of the maison’s playful and charming style since 1968. Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2018, the Alhambra remains as stylish as ever for fashionable women around the world.

Pieces from the signature motif have adorned Grace Kelly, Romy Schneider, and Reese Witherspoon, to name a few. Over the last five decades, the Alhambra has been crafted in a variety of materials including gold, diamonds, coral, turquoise, rock crystal and more… always carrying with it good luck, just like the four-leaf clovers Jacques Arpels picked in his garden.
