Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra Vintage 20 Motifs $56,500
Van Cleef & Arpels first introduced the Alhambra collection in 1968 and remains the most iconic and recognizable collection from the brand. Van Cleef Alhambra is a talismanic design inspired by the four leaf clover and reminiscent of traditional Moorish quatrefoil (a framework pattern consisting of four overlapping circles). In fact, the collection is said to be named after the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain, which boasts a number of sweeping archways. The original opera length 20 motif Alhambra necklace remains the most sought after today. You can't go wrong gifting a 20 Motif Van Cleef Alhambra necklace this season.
Buccellati Bracelet $63,700
Buccellati was founded in 1919 and is popular for its unique design techniques that set its jewelry apart from other luxury brands. Buccellati’s style is characterized by intricate engraving and texturing of gold and silver in ways that mimic delicate fabrics like lace and tulle. We especially love the Buccellati Cuff bracelets featuring Rigato engraving. This engraving technique is one of the most famous and recognizable from Buccellati. Skilled artisans at Buccellati use fine engraving tools to engrave a series of very thin parallel lines by hand into the metal surface. The final result is a silky reflective effect that mimics luxurious textiles.
Bvlgari Serpenti Viper Bracelet $53,500
Bvlgari Serpenti was first introduced in 1948 as a bracelet watch combination and is one of the brand's most famous collections. Bvlgari Serpenti Viper bracelet is the perfect gift for the jewelry icon lover and collector. The combination of diamonds, yellow gold and mother of pearl in this Bvlgari Serpenti Viper bracelet is the perfect gift for someone that loves animal prints, bold jewelry and statement accessories.
Graff Diamond Pendant $20,000
A delicate Graff diamond pendant is the perfect holiday gift for someone that loves understated elegance and Graff's classic diamond designs. Graff is a favorite for lovers of exceptional diamond quality since Graff is one of the few luxury jewelry brands that controls end to end production from manufacturing to retail. This Graff pendent is a perfect every day necklace that can be worn on its own or layered with station necklaces and a simple tennis necklace.
Cartier LOVE Bracelet $18,900
The Cartier Love bracelet has been iconic and sought after since 1969. A Cartier Love bracelet with diamonds is a perfect holiday gift. There are few luxury jewelry collections as recognizable as the Cartier Love Collection. From the Cartier Love bracelet, Cartier Love ring and Cartier Love necklace, this iconic line has become synonymous with timeless elegance and modern romance. The Cartier Love collection was created by Italian jewelry designer Aldo Cipullo. Inspired by the idea of everlasting love, Cipullo's design featured a unique locking mechanism, symbolizing a bond that could only be opened with a special screwdriver, emphasizing the concept of commitment.
Vintage Tiffany & Co Angela Cummings Set, $15,000
Chunky gold collar necklaces were a recurring theme on fall 2024 runways. Loro Piana and Tom Ford paired simple tops and sweaters with stand out chunky chain collar necklaces. Sculptural metal statement jewelry were also prominent accessories for Chanel and Carvan. This season gift a vintage Tiffany & Co Angela Commings gold necklace and earring set if your loved one likes to interpret current fashion trends with one of kind pieces. Angela Cummings was one of the most celebrated jewelry designers who worked for Tiffany & Co. during the 1970s. Known for her innovative use of materials and bold, nature-inspired designs, Cummings made significant contributions to Tiffany’s portfolio, blending luxury with modern artistry.
