Van Cleef & Arpels Sweet Alhambra Butterfly mother-of-pearl necklace
The Sweet Alhambra necklace is part of the poetic lineage of Van Cleef & Arpels, a Maison that has always celebrated a benevolent and refined nature. Launched in 2007, this collection reinterprets the brand’s emblematic lucky motifs in a delicate miniature version. This butterfly pendant embodies lightness and renewal, spreading its wings in white mother-of-pearl with iridescent reflections. Bezel-set in a beaded 18-carat yellow gold mount, the motif sparkles with discreet elegance. Suspended from an adjustable fine curb-link chain, this pre-owned jewel rests delicately at the hollow of the neck. It is a piece of jewellery that combines the Maison’s stylistic heritage with timeless modernity, ideal for a woman seeking subtlety.
