Van Cleef & Arpels Magic Alhambra 6 Motifs Necklace

The Van Cleef & Arpels Magic Alhambra 6 motifs necklace is worked in 18k gold. The Magic line varies the scale of the clover across the chain rather than repeating a single size, and at six motifs the necklace sits at collarbone length where that irregularity is most legible. Each motif carries the beaded gold surround that has identified Alhambra since its introduction in 1968.

Alhambra remains the most recognised design in the house catalogue, and the Magic variations are produced in smaller numbers than the Vintage line. Every motif is cut and finished individually. Sourced privately, with condition and documentation reviewed in full beforehand.

Six motifs is a shorter run than the long necklace in the same Magic line, which makes this version more commonly worn as a standalone piece rather than doubled or layered. The varied clover scale is still legible at this shorter length, though less pronounced than on the longer necklace, where the irregularity has more room to develop across the chain. Clutch checks that the varied motif scale sits correctly along the chain, since even spacing between differently sized clovers matters more here than on a uniform Vintage piece.

At six motifs, the Magic Alhambra sits shorter and more contained than the long necklace in the same line, making it the version most frequently worn on its own rather than layered with another Alhambra piece. Clutch checks motif condition and chain integrity on the specific necklace before listing. Every item is independently authenticated through Legit Grails ahead of purchase.
