The Van Cleef & Arpels Holiday Pendant is one of the maison’s most collectible annual releases, with each edition produced for a limited period before never being repeated. This 2017 Holiday Pendant in Bullseye with diamond accents and solid 18K gold represents a highly sought-after chapter in the Holiday Pendant series, celebrated for its rich natural stone, refined craftsmanship, and enduring scarcity among VCA collectors.
Released as Van Cleef & Arpels' 2017 annual limited Holiday Pendant, this piece features the distinctive Bullseye (Bull's Eye) stone, admired for its silky, chatoyant appearance and beautifully textured finish that shifts subtly under changing light. Unlike more common Alhambra gemstones, Bullseye Holiday Pendants appear infrequently on the secondary market due to their one-year production window and strong collector retention. The addition of a centre diamond and 18K solid gold construction further elevates its desirability. Complete with its original box and papers, this is a collector-grade example of one of VCA's most celebrated annual releases.
Among Van Cleef & Arpels collectors, Holiday Pendants are acquired as much for their rarity as for their beauty. The 2017 Bullseye edition has developed a loyal following thanks to its warm, naturally textured gemstone and the way it catches light with remarkable depth. Unlike standard Alhambra pieces, once a Holiday Pendant year has passed, it is never reproduced. For collectors building a Holiday Pendant series—or simply seeking one of the more distinctive annual editions—this represents a piece that is increasingly difficult to replace.
