The Van Cleef & Arpels Vintage Alhambra 10-Motif Necklace is one of the Maison’s most recognisable jewellery designs, pairing the signature Alhambra quatrefoil motif with polished black onyx and 18K solid gold. The alternating contrast of deep black onyx against warm gold gives this configuration a particularly bold yet timeless presence, making it highly versatile for both everyday and occasion wear.
While Alhambra remains one of Van Cleef & Arpels’ most established collections, complete 10-motif onyx necklaces can be considerably harder to locate on the secondary market in well-maintained condition.
This 2021 example combines ten onyx Alhambra motifs with 18K solid gold and comes with its Van Cleef & Arpels box and original 2021 certificate. For buyers specifically seeking an authenticated, well-preserved 10-motif configuration with provenance, it represents a strong alternative to sourcing the piece through the primary market.
The onyx 10-motif is one of those Alhambra configurations that immediately makes its presence known. The black-and-gold combination is classic, highly wearable and easy to style across both neutral and statement wardrobes. More importantly for the secondary market, finding a well-maintained example accompanied by its original 2021 certificate makes this a particularly compelling piece for collectors who value both condition and provenance.
