Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra collection expansion

Overview

Van Cleef & Arpels announced plans to expand its Alhambra collection with five new designs featuring a translucent pink enamel finish. The upcoming pieces, including a long necklace, pendant, bracelet, and earrings, utilize a technique inspired by the 17th-century ‘gold-ruby’ process, which uses fine gold particles rather than pigments to create depth.

Following the announcement, the brand introduced the collection, marking a transition from using natural gemstones like onyx or carnelian to achieving color through specialized enameling. Artisans employ over 15 different techniques to control gold particles within a glass base, creating shades of pink, red, or magenta with specific light-reflecting properties. The collection maintains the signature four-leaf clover motif set in gold.
