The Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra series has many innovations in the production process. Since its inception in 1968, the series has been constantly updated. Among them, the hand-made Guet carving process usually used in the production of watch dial is invested in the creation of all-metal works, this process presents orderly solar radiation cutting lines on the yellow K gold surface of the four-leaf lucky pattern, and the relief effect is faintly visible from a distance, which can make each four-leaf lucky pattern have different light and shadow effects in different viewing angles under the light. In 2018, Van Cleef & Arpels once again launched the new four-leaf Lucky series, which will be the traditional technique that has always been used to make watches and precious works – Guguet cutwork was first used in the Alhambra four-leaf Lucky series, which was mainly used on watch faces in the 1910s. In the 1930s, it was extended to the production of jewelry boxes, compact cases and Minaudieres, with precious metals and precious stones as embellishes. In this year’s new collection, a reversible ring is presented in two attractive materials, which can be chosen by the wearer according to their preferences, highlighting the family’s tradition of versatile jewelry. In addition, the family selects the gemstones according to extremely strict quality standards and grinds them to a thin thickness of only 2 mm, giving the agate a mysterious translucent texture. From the strict selection of gemstones to the meticulous hand-setting, every process demonstrates the delicacy and dedication of Van Cleef & Arpels craftsmen. In terms of user experience, the Vintage Alhambra reversible ring has introduced innovative design. The introduction of movable hinge not only increases the fun of wearing, but also ensures the stability and comfort of wearing. The semicircular gold ring design in the inner ring of the ring ensures the fit with the finger.
