Case study: a Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra necklace before a birthday

The request

A client needed a Van Cleef & Arpels Vintage Alhambra 10-motif necklace in a particular stone, in time for a birthday.

What made it tricky

Specific stones and metals in the Alhambra collection can be hard to find at short notice, and a gift with a deadline leaves little room for delays.

What we did

  • Sourced options for the exact reference, stone and metal through our network
  • Confirmed condition, provenance and warranty before the client committed
  • Arranged gift-ready packaging and insured delivery ahead of the date

The outcome

The necklace arrived before the birthday, exactly as described.
