The Van Cleef & Arpels Vintage Alhambra 5-Motif Bracelet is one of the maison’s most iconic and recognisable jewellery creations, symbolising luck, elegance, and timeless sophistication. This exceptionally rare Grey Mother-of-Pearl and Diamond version in 18K rose gold represents a more exclusive side of the Alhambra universe—where subtle colours, precious materials, and limited availability converge into a true collector-grade acquisition.
This is one of the most difficult-to-source configurations within the Vintage Alhambra bracelet family. The combination of Grey Mother-of-Pearl and diamonds is significantly rarer than standard onyx, MOP, or carnelian variants commonly encountered in the market. The natural grey nacre exhibits sophisticated tonal shifts that complement the warmth of 18K solid rose gold, while the diamond motifs elevate the bracelet firmly into high-jewellery territory. Complete with box and 2022 papers, this piece offers strong provenance and collector confidence. With a current retail price of approximately SGD 23,000, it remains one of the most exclusive and sought-after 5-motif Alhambra bracelets available.
Among Alhambra collectors, rarity often comes down to the stone selection rather than the model itself. Grey Mother-of-Pearl sits in an especially coveted category because of its subtle colour shifts, limited production, and far lower circulation compared to mainstream variants. Combined with diamond motifs and rose gold, this bracelet achieves a level of refinement that appeals strongly to seasoned collectors seeking something beyond the usual Alhambra staples. Pieces like this are rarely offered publicly and are often quietly absorbed into established collections.
