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.
Read the product overview
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 we assess prices
We use in-stock offers checked within 72 hours. Scores compare the current offer with that retailer’s observations from the last 90 days, requiring at least 14 observed days and a price from about 30 days ago. Suspect records withhold the score. Retailer conditions and prices can change.
