The four-leaf clover appeared in Van Cleef & Arpels designs as early as the 1920s. Redefined, it adorned the long necklaces launched in 1968 under the name Alhambra. Initially in gold, it was soon coloured with the finest quality stones. Grace Kelly, Françoise Hardy, Romy Schneider and many other celebrities made the Alhambra an iconic piece of jewellery. It is now available in pendants, bracelets and rings. Here you have the special 50th anniversary edition.
