Alhambra Design by Van Cleef and Arpels Turns 50

Each adornments house needs a mark structure: a champion that uniquely inspires the house's style codes and proceeds to be a business smash hit. For Van Cleef and Arpels, that unquestionably would be Alhambra. The four-leaf-cloverlike configuration went onto the scene in 1968 as the accents on a yellow-gold sautoir, the detail's amuletlike shape summoning a cutting edge exoticism. Elegance Kelly and Romy Schneider were early fans; all the more as of late, Blake Lively and Sharon Stone have worn the style. Furthermore, the structure has been reached out to studs, between-the-finger rings and bejeweled watches made with malachite, tiger's-eye, onyx and turquoise, among different stones.
