New Van Cleef and Arpels Jewelry The Transformable Necklace. Well, it seems like Van Cleef has done it again. The ever popular Alhambra bracelet and necklace have been upgraded, and it looks a bit different from usual. The necklace has been transformed into a more striking design that has the clovers more spaced out instead of close together as it was before, and the bracelet is the same but uses different, more sophisticated stones.

What is interesting to me is that Van Cleef didn’t use these dark stones before. They look grey, brown, and even black at times. They even updated their watches with the Alhambra motif. Do you like it? Or do you think that the Alhambra jewel line is outdated and that there are too many fakes in the market to justify buying it?
