Editor’s Note
The Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra Butterfly Necklace in white mother-of-pearl and 18k yellow gold is a delicate and elegant creation that beautifully captures the maison's celebrated symbolism of luck, beauty and nature. Inspired by the graceful form of a butterfly, this refined necklace showcases the exceptional craftsmanship and timeless design that have made Van Cleef & Arpels one of the world's most prestigious jewellery houses.
Crafted from luminous white mother-of-pearl, the butterfly motif displays a natural iridescence that subtly shifts in the light, creating a soft and feminine appearance. The motif is framed by the maison's signature beaded edge detailing, meticulously crafted in 18k yellow gold to enhance the design's elegance and recognisable aesthetic.
The butterfly has long been associated with transformation, freedom and good fortune, making this piece both meaningful and highly collectible. Suspended from a fine 18k yellow gold chain, the necklace sits beautifully at the neckline and can be worn alone for understated sophistication or layered with other Van Cleef & Arpels creations.
Accompanied by its original receipt and certificate and dating from 2025, this necklace is a wonderful addition to any fine jewellery collection and a timeless expression of Van Cleef & Arpels' enduring artistry.
