About the price index Alhambra Sweet Boucles d'oreilles Van Cleef & Arpels
Created by Van Cleef & Arpels from the **Alhambra** line, which appeared in the late 1960s, the **Sweet Alhambra** earrings reinterpret the lucky clover motif in a more discreet and wearable format. The most sought-after version often combines **18-carat yellow gold** with **mother-of-pearl**, but the collection also exists with other stones, creating price variations depending on the rarity and appeal of the material. In the pre-owned market, this model sells well thanks to its immediately recognisable identity, the strong desirability of the Maison, and sustained demand for iconic jewellery, particularly for gift purchases and daily wear. The value primarily depends on the **condition**, the presence of the **box and papers**, then the **series**, the **stone colour**, and the **configuration** of the studs. Examples close to new, little handled, and in the most easily resold shades, are significantly above pieces marked by wear or missing elements.

Reading the Alhambra Sweet Boucles d'oreilles Van Cleef & Arpels price guide
