Van Cleef & Arpels unveiled a new interpretation of its iconic Alhambra collection, introducing a jewelry set adorned with vibrant pink enamel. Inspired by the four-leaf clover, the Alhambra motif has symbolized luck since its debut in 1968, evolving over the decades through a variety of materials while preserving its timeless appeal.

The new collection includes a long necklace, necklace, pendant, bracelet and earrings, showcasing the Maison's expertise in enameling, a craft that has been part of its heritage since 1906. Developed after years of research, the translucent pink enamel features tiny bubbles that create depth, light and brilliance.

Inspired by the historic "gold-ruby" enameling technique, the color is achieved through fine gold particles rather than pigments. Combined with yellow or guilloché yellow gold, the enamel enhances the collection's signature aesthetic.

The launch also highlights Van Cleef & Arpels' commitment to preserving traditional métiers d'art through innovation, craftsmanship and in-house training, continuing the evolution of one of the Maison's most recognizable jewelry collections.
