Van Cleef & Arpels 18k Yellow Gold Alhambra Necklace 17"

This stunning Van Cleef & Arpels necklace is in excellent pre-owned condition and ready to ship!

The Alhambra is one of the most recognized motifs in fine jewelry. Van Cleef & Arpels introduced the four-leaf clover silhouette in 1968, drawing on the lucky clover as a symbol of luck across cultures, and the design has remained in continuous production ever since. What makes this 18k yellow gold example particularly desirable is the construction: each Alhambra medallion is finished with the maison's signature milgrain beaded border, a hand-finished detail that frames the central pavé work and catches light from every angle. At 17 inches, the necklace sits at the ideal length for the collarbone, long enough to layer but short enough to wear solo against an open neckline.

18k yellow gold is the standard VCA uses across its Alhambra line for good reason. The 75% pure alloy is warm and saturated in color, holds its finish through years of wear, and complements the honeyed tones the maison prefers for the collection. The chain hardware is clean with no kinks or damage, and the pendant construction remains tight and precise. The back surface shows the characteristic light patina of a gently worn piece, nothing that affects appearance when worn, and consistent with an estate piece that has been enjoyed and cared for.

Pieces from the Alhambra collection hold their value at resale in a way few fine jewelry designs do. The pattern has never been discontinued, it appears on waiting lists at VCA boutiques regularly, and estate examples in excellent condition with original box command strong prices. This necklace arrives with its original Van Cleef & Arpels box, which matters to buyers who plan to gift it or preserve it as part of a collection. At 5.5 grams, it is light enough for daily wear but substantial enough to feel deliberate. Each piece is fully inspected and authenticated by Diamonds by Raymond Lee in Boca Raton.
