“To be lucky, you have to believe in luck”, said Jacques Arpels, and luck has been a recurring theme in Van Cleef & Arpels’ collections. In 1968, the Maison launched a sautoir ornamented with 20 little gold four-leaf clover motifs, edged in beaded or “perlé” gold.
Called Alhambra in reference to architectural elements of the famous Moorish city fortress, that resembled the clover motif, it also tapped into the prevailing mood of exoticism and hippie-luxe. While the long, loose, casual necklace captured the spirit of the ages, freedom and social and cultural revolution.
“To be lucky, you have to believe in luck.”

One of the most powerful ways to transform one’s look or capture one’s expression of style is through jewelry. From simple jewels such as stud earrings to an extravagant diamond necklace, every jewel tells its own story.
In the last century, many famous artists from the Bauhaus, Surrealist and Cubist movements began experimenting with their art in 3D; thus, the idea of ‘wearable art’ was conceived, creating an outlet from the conventions of traditional jewelry allowing these artists to create unique designs, often with sculptural qualities.
Pietro Consagra | Diamond brooch
Artist Pietro Consagra, both a sculptor and jeweller wrote “a jewel is a charge of emotion, ecstasy in the pleasure of what he holds in his hand, in the allusive forms that he makes explicit.”
