The Van Cleef & Arpels Vintage Alhambra Earrings are among the maison's most iconic jewellery creations, embodying the timeless symbolism of luck, harmony, and elegance. Crafted in the signature Vintage Alhambra size, the White Mother of Pearl and 18K gold combination remains one of the most recognisable and enduring designs within the Van Cleef & Arpels collection.
These Vintage Alhambra Earrings feature luminous White Mother of Pearl, celebrated for its natural glow, iridescence, and unique character—ensuring that no two pairs are ever exactly alike. Framed in 18K solid gold, they offer an elegant balance of everyday wearability and timeless sophistication. Complete with their original box and 2024 papers, this recent full set is rarely encountered on the secondary market, making it an attractive opportunity for collectors. A minor surface mark on the right earring has been transparently reflected in the pricing, allowing buyers to acquire one of Van Cleef & Arpels' most coveted jewellery staples at exceptional value.
WLCSG curator note:
The Vintage Alhambra White Mother of Pearl Earrings remain one of Van Cleef & Arpels' most enduring collector favourites, admired for their effortless versatility and timeless elegance. The natural Mother of Pearl displays a beautiful glow and iridescence that cannot be replicated, giving every pair its own individual character. Complete with their 2024 box and papers, and priced to reflect the minor cosmetic mark, this represents an outstanding opportunity to own one of the maison's most iconic creations at well below the cost of sourcing a comparable recent full set.
