Van Cleef & Arpels Diamond Alhambra 10 Motif Necklace AUTHENTIC

This is one, if not the most iconic and recognizable creations by Van Cleef & Arpels. It is called Vintage Alhambra 10 Motif. The term "vintage" differentiates it as one of four clover sizes offered by The House. This necklace has ten diamond motifs exhibiting diamonds in the vintage style which has beautiful gold work within each clover. There is a gold ball at the center of each clover surrounded by a ring of diamonds. At the four points in each direction are four larger diamonds creating a quatrefoil or clover. This is framed by a lovely double row of beaded miniature balls resembling a strand of endless pearls. I have worn this on several occasions. However, I take care of my jewelry with ultimate care. It is steam cleaned and placed in a jewelry vault after every wear. In photo number 4, you will see what you will receive with the necklace: the original inner and outer box, Certificate of Authentication with hologram, Appraisal for insurance. This gorgeous piece is designed to be worn at the nape of the neck...resting on the beat of your heart. -Composition: 18K white gold with rhodium plating -Diamonds: 120 Brilliant Round Full Cut @ 4.83 ctw / DEF color / IF, VVS quality -Hallmarks: VCA 750 (serial) stamp of VCA on clasp (4 point lozenge with vc, Columne de Vendome, a) stamped in the middle) -Length: 16.54" -Reference number: VCARA42400 -Serial number (only given to purchaser)
