Epitomising the Maison’s sophistication and savoir-faire, the talismanic token is rendered in iridescent grey mother-of-pearl and lustrous rose gold

&ldquo;To be lucky, you must believe in luck&rdquo; was a mantra that Jacques Arpels lived by. The nephew of the founders of Van Cleef &amp; Arpels would gather four-leaf clovers from his garden and give them to his staff, along with the poem Don&rsquo;t Quit, as an encouragement to never lose hope. It was his belief in good luck charms that served as the inspiration for the Maison&rsquo;s iconic <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/jewellery/van-cleef-arpels-alhambra-guilloche-collection">Alhambra</a> collection, beloved by women of elegance from <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/from-grace-kelly-to-elle-fanning-the-best-moments-on-the-cannes-red-carpet">Grace Kelly</a> and Fran&ccedil;oise Hardy to <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/Culture/ryan-reynolds-and-blake-lively-make-millionaire-donation-to-anti-racism-protesters">Blake Lively</a> and Sharon Stone.

Shaped like a four-leaf clover, with beaded edges reminiscent of the scalloped arches of its namesake palace in Spain, the talismanic token has enjoyed continued popularity since its inauguration in 1968 &ndash; a stroke of fortuity indeed for the jewellery house. Now, Van Cleef &amp; Arpels adds another sautoir to its Vintage Alhambra series, here rendered in iridescent grey mother-of-pearl and lustrous rose gold.

One of the Maison&rsquo;s all-time favourite materials, silvery mother-of-pearl from French Polynesia forms the heart of this pendant, its nuanced sheen evoking a sense of femininity, gentleness, and protection. A delicate border of tiny gold grains frames the quatrefoil motif, polished by hand to summon a warm glow. Swinging gracefully from a fluid rose gold chain, the captivating design is the quintessence of Van Cleef &amp; Arpels&rsquo; sophistication and savoir-faire, and assuredly a modern heirloom worthy of being passed down through the generations.
