The Van Cleef & Arpels Vintage Alhambra necklace is one of the most recognisable luxury jewellery creations ever made—an enduring symbol of luck, elegance, and timeless craftsmanship. This Vintage Alhambra Mother-of-Pearl necklace in 18K white gold represents one of the rarest mainstream configurations within the collection, combining the maison’s iconic clover motif with precious white gold and luminous natural nacre. It embodies the understated sophistication that has made Alhambra a cornerstone of modern jewellery collecting.
 
This is a brand-new 2026 set with tag intact, a significant advantage in a market where recent full-set examples are becoming increasingly difficult to source. More importantly, the 18K solid white gold configuration is notably harder to encounter on the resale market compared to its yellow gold counterparts, making it especially desirable among collectors who favour a more contemporary aesthetic. The white mother-of-pearl motif offers a timeless, versatile look that complements both casual and formal wear. Complete with box and 2026 papers, this piece sits at the very top of the market in terms of freshness and completeness. Notably, even 2020–2024 sets are already transacting around SGD 3,700–4,300, underscoring the strength of demand for this increasingly scarce configuration.
 
Most Alhambra buyers focus on the motif—but seasoned collectors often focus on the metal configuration. White gold examples are quietly much harder to source because far fewer circulate on the secondary market. Combined with a fresh 2026 set and untouched condition, this becomes the kind of VCA acquisition that checks every major collector box: iconic design, scarce configuration, complete provenance, and maximum freshness.
