Van Cleef & Arpels, a symbol of French excellence

The House of Van Cleef & Arpels was founded by Estelle Arpels, daughter of a gemstone merchant, and Alfred Van Cleef, son of a diamond merchant, in the late 1890s. From its move to 22 Place Vendôme in 1906, Van Cleef & Arpels continued to innovate, first with Oriental-inspired jewelry collections (1920s), then with a new patented technique (1933): Serti Mystérieux. Many of the Maison's iconic creations have used this revolutionary technique, notably the Pivoine clip. Throughout its history, Van Cleef & Arpels has also produced numerous commissions, including Marlène Dietrich's garter bracelet, Empress Farah Pahlavi's jewelry set and Princess Grace of Monaco's engagement set. It was also the first French jewelry house to establish a presence in Japan, in 1973. Today, Van Cleef & Arpels enjoys international renown as an ambassador for the excellence of French Haute Joaillerie.

The Alhambra Van Cleef & Arpels collection

The Alhambra collection was created in 1968 by Van Cleef & Arpels. The jewelry in the Alhambra collection is pure, with natural materials and beaded contours. The shapes are inspired by the four-leaf clover, with variations in color. The jewelry in the Alhambra collection has thus become a symbol of good luck. We give them as good-luck charms to people we care about, or buy them for our own good luck.

The first piece in the Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra collection was the Alhambra sautoir, created in 1968 and composed of 20 crinkled yellow gold motifs embroidered with gold beads. This jewel from the Alhambra collection is still highly coveted today, as it has become an iconic Van Cleef & Arpels piece.

Jewels from the Alhambra collection by Van Cleef & Arpels
