What is Alhambra stone?
1 Answer
The stones in Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra vary. The first Alhambra jewel was a long gold chain with 20 gold clovers, the surface of each creased and edged in gold beads. In 1971, the house began making the motif in colorful opaque hard stones, including malachite, lapis lazuli, onyx, coral, tiger’s-eye and turquoise. Today, pieces incorporating these stones and a beaded border are referred to as Vintage Alhambra. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers.
