Vintage Alhambra Pendant Onyx

The Vintage Alhambra single-motif pendant in 18k yellow gold with onyx is Van Cleef & Arpels' signature design and a tightly held piece of fine jewelry whose resale index closely shadows the maison's frequent retail increases. The numbers here are indicative resale figures from authenticated marketplaces rather than a set price. Demand consistently outstrips secondary supply, so unworn examples with the original box and certificate trade at the top of the band, and authentication of the gold, hardware, and stone is essential given the prevalence of convincing fakes.

How the Buy-timing Score is calculated

We combine today's price position within this product's own 12-month range, its distance from the all-time low, and the recent trend. The score reflects price timing and is the same in every market; only the displayed prices and retailers change. We never accept payment to change a score. Read the full methodology →
