The Van Cleef & Arpels 2025 Holiday Pendant is the maison’s coveted annual limited-edition interpretation of the iconic Vintage Alhambra pendant. Released in a different material or colourway each year, VCA Holiday Pendants have developed a dedicated global collector following. The 2025 edition pairs Pink Mother of Pearl with 18K rose gold, creating one of the softest and most feminine expressions of the Alhambra motif.
What makes the 2025 Holiday Pendant particularly captivating is its Pink Mother of Pearl. As a natural material, every piece possesses its own individual nacre, tonal variation and iridescence—meaning no two pendants are exactly alike. This example displays a beautiful muted blush-pink glow, shifting delicately as it catches different angles of light.
Paired with warm 18K solid rose gold, the result is understated yet distinctly collectible. More importantly, this example is new and unused with its tag still attached, and comes as a highly complete 2025 set with original VCA box, papers and receipt. For collectors of annual Holiday Pendants, this is exactly the kind of provenance and condition that matters.
The beauty of the 2025 Holiday Pendant is really in the Mother of Pearl. Photographs never quite capture how the muted pink blush shifts across the nacre, and because every MOP motif is naturally different, finding one with particularly beautiful iridescence makes the piece feel that much more personal. We also love how the rose gold quietly amplifies the warmth of the pink without making it overly sweet. With the tag still attached and the complete 2025 box, certificate and receipt, this is a collector-grade example of an annual VCA release that was only available for a moment in the maison’s history.
