Another Van Cleef & Arpels pieces from the Duchess of
Cornwall’s collection are these beautiful earrings.
Van Cleef & Arpels Magic Alhambra Earrings |
Ever
since 1968, Alhambra – Van Cleef & Arpels’ symbol of luck – has appeared in
a variety of elegant guises, inspired by different materials and occasions. All of these Magic Alhambra pieces are individually numbered and signed by Van Cleef & Arpels.
These
stunning drop earrings are executed in the firm’s traditional Magic Alhambra
motif. They consist of three clips made of 18kt white gold pave-set with a
total of 4.5 carats of diamonds. The earrings have an approximate lenth of 70mm
and are 20mm in diameter.

These
earrings appear to be recent acquisition because I have never seen the Duchess
wear them prior to 2012. Among the few events Camilla opted to wear these ear
clips was the Prince’s Trust Comedy Gala at the Royal Albert Hall in November
of 2012.
I
hope we’ll see more outings of this pair because, in my opinion, these are some
of the most beautiful earrings in the Duchess’s collection (I’ll be covering my
most favourite pair tomorrow – the wonderful Diamond Drop Earrings).
