Van Cleef & Arpels: A Refined Association of Materials

Lara Mansour   |   12-03-2017

An icon of Van Cleef & Arpels, the Alhambra collection has taken on an elegant range of interpretations since 1968, lending itself to a rich variety of materials and occasions. To celebrate the auspices of luck, the Special Edition Alhambra is adorned with lilac Sèvres porcelain for the first time. The gentle, feminine shade of lilac symbolises Spring’s purity and renewal, whilst complimented with class tones of yellow gold to bring a note of tenderness to this piece.
