A miniature version of the lucky clover

La Alhambra collectionlaunched in 1968, has become a pillar of the Van Cleef & Arpels identity. The clover motif, inspired by the forms of nature and Moorish decorative arts, is available in several sizes and styles: Vintage, Magic, Pure and Sweet. It is the latter that most embodies lightness.

The parts Sweet Alhambra are recognisable by their small size, with a finely chiselled cloverleaf, often in mother-of-pearl, carnelian, onyx or turquoise, underlined by a delicate beaded outline in gold. They can be worn as necklaces, bracelets, earrings or rings, for everyday elegance without ostentation.

Everyday elegance in detail

What distinguishes Sweet Alhambra of the other collections lies in its perfect balance between refinement and discretion. Where the Vintage Alhambra line is more imposing because of its generous size, Sweet plays the delicate card. It's a piece of jewellery that can be kept close to you, layered or worn on its own, accompanying your gestures without ever stealing the limelight.

It is also a collection that is highly prized as the first piece of Van Cleef & Arpels jewellery, to mark a birth, an achievement or simply a precious gift. Its format makes it particularly accessible, while retaining the aura of exception that is unique to the House.

Timeless charm in second-hand

The parts Sweet Alhambra are a huge success on the second-hand market, where they are sought after for their accessibility, rarity and timelessness. Opting for a pre-loved piece of jewellery gives you the chance to discover models that are sometimes discontinued, in stones or colour combinations that are no longer produced.

It is also a way of acquiring fine jewellery at a more affordable price, while preserving the excellence of Van Cleef & Arpels expertise. Each piece of second-hand jewellery appraised retains its authenticity, while being part of a more responsible and sustainable approach. A Sweet jewel Used Alhambra has lost none of its lustre: on the contrary, it carries with it an additional story, that of transmission.

The collection Sweet Alhambra is an ode to discretion and tender elegance. It revisits the emblematic Van Cleef & Arpels motif in a more intimate version, designed to enhance everyday life. Whether it's your first piece of exceptional jewellery or the perfect addition to an existing set, it's the ideal gateway to the enchanting world of Van Cleef & Arpels.
