It hangs from a fine trace chain that sits right at the base of the throat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMother-of-pearl is the material that makes this work. The face isn't flat white — move it and you catch pale pink, then silver, then a warm cream, depending entirely on the light and the angle. Every shell is cut differently, so every motif reads differently. That variation is the point, not a flaw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beaded border is where the craft shows. Individual gold beads, hand-applied around the perimeter, holding the stone with four small prongs at the notches between the lobes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWears alone against a bare neck. Layers with a Sweet Alhambra or a longer motif chain without crowding. The single most recognizable pendant in modern fine jewelry, and one of the very few that genuinely goes with everything.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Van Cleef and Arpels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48355053437149,"sku":"0004100","price":2900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/7828\/2405\/files\/van-cleef-arpels-vintage-alhambra-18k-yellow-gold-necklace-mother-of-pearl-0004100-1253732157.jpg?v=1786372719","url":"https:\/\/www.opulentjewelers.com\/products\/van-cleef-arpels-vintage-alhambra-18k-yellow-gold-necklace-mother-of-pearl","provider":"Opulent Jewelers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
