The Maison unveils a series of sautoirs, a ring and a jewellery watch in gold and semi-precious stones, centred on its talismanic quatrefoil motif

Good luck charms come in all shapes and sizes around the world, from painted dala horses to waving maneki-neko to fuzzy die. But for Van Cleef &amp; Arpels, felicity is signified by one particular figure: a gracefully curved quatrefoil traced with delicate gold grains, recalling the petals of a four-leaf clover as well as the sculpted arches typical of Moorish architecture. That is, <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/jewellery/van-cleef-arpels-alhambra-grey-pendant-is-a-modern-heirloom-worth-investing-in">the Alhambra</a>, an evergreen icon (and propitious portent) of the luxury house for over half a century.

This year, Van Cleef &amp; Arpels is pushing its luck even further with a select handful of novelties spanning jewellery and horology, all centred on the talismanic token in different combinations of gold, nacre and semi-precious stones. These include simple but elegant Magic Alhambra sautoirs, showcasing pendants of nuanced blue chalcedony, iridescent grey mother-of-pearl and vivid azure agate complemented by 18-karat white, rose and yellow gold, respectively.

A fourth, fortuitous interpretation spotlights, in contrast, the heritage technique of <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/jewellery/van-cleef-arpels-alhambra-guilloche-collection">guilloch&eacute;</a>, where intricate striations are finely engraved on mirror-polished yellow gold in evocation of the sun&rsquo;s brilliant rays. Faithful to the concept of transformability perpetuated by the Maison since its founding in the late 1800s, the Magic Alhambra designs can be worn in a variety of ways, whether draped across the clavicle as a long necklace or double-strand choker, wrapped around the wrist as a charm bracelet, or dangled down the back as an uncommon adornment. &nbsp;

Resonating closely with the sautoirs, a new Vintage Alhambra ring in guilloch&eacute; yellow gold also makes its debut, along with the exquisite, quartz-powered Sweet Alhambra timepiece, which comprises a precious wreath of alternating guilloch&eacute; rose gold and pink mother-of-pearl motifs (never-before-seen in the collection), linked together in an ethereal halo.
