ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Van Cleef & Arpels' iconic Alhambra® motif was created in 1968 in response to women's desire for jewelry that wasn't limited to formal wear, but that could easily be worn with daytime attire. Based on the four-leaf clover and the Moorish quatrefoil design, the Alhambra line—named after the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain—has been coveted throughout the decades by celebrities such as Grace Kelly and by current arbiters of exceptional style. This piece, measuring just shy of 34 inches long, features 20 highly polished turquoise clovers, imbued with a bright sky-blue hue and framed by Van Cleef & Arpels' signature beaded edges. These elegant emblems of luck are linked by a faceted cable chain and can be worn full length or doubled. Your daytime attire will never be the same. Crafted in 18K yellow gold. Accompanied by its original box and certificate of authenticity.

About Estate Jewelry

Though it calls to mind grand manor houses in the English countryside, “estate” is just a fancy way of describing any piece of jewelry with a previous owner. That’s pretty much everything in our collection. We tend to use “estate” to refer to pieces in our collection with a more modern or contemporary design, or vintage-inspired designs. These perennial gems are selected in harmony with our original antique and vintage pieces…they’re just a little bit younger!

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
