The Alhambra’s talismanic design was inspired by Jacques Arpels’ love of picking four-leaf clovers. He was particularly fond of presenting them to employees, and his first design was unveiled in 1968. At a time when women’s liberation movements were gaining momentum and commercial travel was becoming an increasingly popular option for the jet-set elite, this talismanic design was a hit.

Inspired by the four-leaf clover, Jacques Arpels’s alhambra collection combines a talismanic message with a modern, stylish look. The design of the Alhambra has become a trademark for the Maison Van Cleef & Arpels, and a symbol of good luck. The four leaf clover has long been regarded as a lucky charm.

The iconic Alhambra collection is one of the most famous collections of Van Cleef & Arfels jewelry. The collection features necklaces of different lengths, earrings, bracelets, rings, and watches featuring precious stones set in 18-karat white gold and other materials. The encrusted gemstones give the pieces an elegant look and are perfect for day-to-night wear.

The name ‘Alhambra’ was inspired by the Moorish palace Alhambra, which is the only royal territorial center of the Islamic Golden Age. The Alhambra’s red walls earned it the name ‘al-qal’a al-hamra’, which means’red fort.’ The symbol is also a four-leafed clover, a lucky symbol carved into the Alhambra’s walls.

The famous four-leaf clover was first spotted in the Maison’s archives during the 1920s. Jacques Arpels believed in good fortune and often gave four-leaf clovers to his employees as a symbol of luck. Hence, the four-leaf clover motif became an iconic piece of Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry.

It is a symbol of post-war feminist aesthetic

During the third wave of feminism, artists subverted sexist imagery and symbols. Many sexist terms were remade and made humorous. The rise of riot grrls and the ’90s’ were key in shaping this aesthetic movement. Not only were feminists demanding more respect for women, but they also fought for the right to call themselves women. In the process, they created a new aesthetic.

After the suffragette movement, feminism became a plural, multivocal movement. The third wave included people of different classes, ethnicities, and identities. It was also multivocal, a characteristic that was attacked by some as one of its greatest weaknesses. However, this aesthetic did not die with the third wave. It endures today as a symbol of post-war feminism.
