Twenty motifs of grey mother-of-pearl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 20-motif is the one collectors actually chase — the long Vintage Alhambra that drapes well past the collarbone, the necklace you can wear full-length or loop twice into a layered choker. In grey mother-of-pearl, it's rarer still. VCA has run this material in far smaller numbers than the white, and at twenty motifs it almost never surfaces on the secondary market. When one does, it doesn't sit long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrey mother-of-pearl is the connoisseur's stone. It isn't the obvious cream of the classic — it's smokier, cooler, shifting between dove, pewter, and a pale silvered blue as the light moves. Set in 18k yellow gold, each clover reads quiet and modern, the beaded border catching just enough shine. Twenty of them in a row, every panel slightly its own. No two motifs alike, which is the nature of the material and the pleasure of owning it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a piece that does the work alone. A black dress and nothing else. A white shirt open at the collar. It's understated until you understand what it is — and then it's the only thing in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt arrives with a recent cleaning certificate, the mother-of-pearl and gold freshly serviced and documented, ready to wear from the moment it's in your hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece we take on is studied closely before it joins the collection — the gold, the mother-of-pearl, the build of every motif, the run of the chain. Only those that meet the maison's standard earn a place here. A grey-pearl 20-motif clears that bar without question. This one does.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Van Cleef and Arpels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47992460738781,"sku":"0004000","price":35000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/7828\/2405\/files\/van-cleef-arpels-vintage-alhambra-20-motif-necklace-18k-yellow-gold-0004000-1241257671.jpg?v=1780426088","url":"https:\/\/www.opulentjewelers.com\/products\/van-cleef-arpels-vintage-alhambra-20-motif-necklace-18k-yellow-gold","provider":"Opulent Jewelers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
