This withdrawal is final and irreversible, and the buyer waives any right of ownership, restitution or claim on the withdrawn item.

Van Cleef & Arpels - Alhambra
Van Cleef & Arpels has established itself as a house where jewellery becomes a lucky charm. With its Parisian elegance, selected stones and symbolic motifs, the house has created an instantly recognisable universe, blending refinement and poetry.
This Alhambra sautoir from the 1970s, crafted in 750 gold with a filed forçat stitch and adorned with 20 coral motifs, is part of one of Van Cleef & Arpels' most emblematic collections. Launched in 1968, Alhambra has become a veritable signature of the brand, with its four-lobed motif inspired by the Moorish architecture of the Alhambra palace in Granada.
