A beautiful vintage Van Cleef & Arpels white mother-of-pearl Sweet Alhambra pendant necklace set in 18k yellow gold.
The pendant is set with the iconic Alhambra design. It hangs from a 16-inch yellow-gold trace chain, secured with a lobster claw fastening. Inspired by icons of luck, the clover leaf. The design is simple and timelessly elegant, elevated by bead detailing around the shimmery mother-of-pearl.
Due to the design and size, this necklace would make a perfect everyday piece of jewellery. Similar models of this necklace are available in Van Cleef & Arpels stores for a retail price of £1,430.
For size reference, the pendant measures approximately 0.9 centimetres in diameter. The necklace measures 39 to 41 centimetres in length (with a jump ring), with a gross weight of 2.6 grams.
The necklace is signed and hallmarked VCA, Au750 (for 18k gold), with the serial number JB984031. Lastly, a valuation for insurance and authenticity will accompany this piece.
