van cleef & arpels recently released the alhambra four-leaf lucky new product series, the theme pattern represents the blessing of luck. since its launch in 1968, the alhambra series has continued to evolve, transforming into a rich combination of materials, diverse functions, and theme patterns of different sizes.
this year, the maison combines the brilliant guilloché yellow gold with the deep blue agate to decorate the sweet alhambra watch and vintage alhambra reversible ring, and together with the pendants and earrings inlaid with blue agate, they create a new elegant look for the series.
following the first inlay of blue agate in the alhambra four-leaf lucky series in 1989, it excels in three aspects: flawless clarity, vivid color and lustrous surface. to create a harmonious and rounded effect, the craftsman carefully matches each four-leaf lucky theme pattern. the transparency of the gemstones presents natural subtle differences, giving the work a unique charm. each theme pattern is surrounded by a gold round bead border, highlighting the sharp contrast between the dazzling guilloché yellow gold and the deep blue agate.
the launch of the alhambra four-leaf lucky series has repeatedly rewritten the way of wearing daily jewelry. in 2023, the maison launched the vintage alhambra reversible ring. this year's new work is decorated with guilloché yellow gold and blue agate inlaid with diamonds on the front and back, and both sides are decorated with exquisite round bead trims, echoing the aesthetic elements of the series. its movable hinges ensure that the theme pattern can be turned stably and smoothly. the inner ring of the ring is a semi-circular gold ring that gently embraces the finger and is comfortable to the skin. the surface of the guilloché yellow gold is decorated with a closed inlaid diamond. its height has been carefully considered to ensure comfortable wearing without losing the brilliance of the diamond.
the sweet alhambra watch was launched in 1998. the new watch inherits the aesthetic style of the watch and has gone through 15 processes, including strict gem selection, exquisite material matching, careful gem inlay, and rigorous movement and dial assembly. the four-leaf lucky theme pattern is surrounded by gold round beads. the exquisite structure is hand-made by jewelry craftsmen, as if placed in a precious and elegant jewelry box. the rounded claws are precisely bent to echo the rounded contours of the gold beads, showing a harmonious beauty. the final polishing process is the icing on the cake for the work, blooming a beautiful and dazzling streamer.
luck is a value that van cleef & arpels has always cherished and is one of the sources of its creative inspiration. jacques arpels believed that jewelry was a lucky charm. he would pick four-leaf clovers in his own garden and give them to the family's employees, with an english poem "don't quit" attached to encourage them to always have hope.
