Delivery & Returns
Q: What makes the Sweet Alhambra bracelet different from other Alhambra bracelets? A: The Sweet Alhambra line is the more delicate, smaller-scale interpretation of Van Cleef & Arpels' iconic clover motif. This piece features a single mother-of-pearl motif in 18K gold, giving it a refined and understated look.
Q: What size is this bracelet? A: This bracelet has a perimeter of approximately 17 cm, and the motif measures about 0.9 x 0.9 cm. It is designed to sit lightly on the wrist with a fine, elegant profile. For the best fit, compare the 17 cm length with a bracelet you already wear comfortably.
Q: Is this a good choice for everyday wear? A: Yes, it can be worn regularly if handled with care. The design is lightweight and versatile, but mother-of-pearl is a delicate natural material, so it is best suited to gentle daily wear rather than heavy or rough use.
Q: Can I wear the bracelet in the shower, when swimming, or at the gym? A: It is best to remove it before showering, swimming, exercising, or washing up. Water, heat, perspiration, and chemicals can affect both the mother-of-pearl and the finish over time.
Q: How should I care for the mother-of-pearl and gold? A: Wipe the piece gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear and store it separately to help prevent scratches. Avoid perfume, lotions, soap, cleaning products, and abrasive surfaces, and do not use ultrasonic cleaning on delicate jewellery like this.
Q: Can this bracelet be layered with other jewellery? A: Yes, but it is best layered carefully. If worn next to harder bracelets, watches, or bangles, the mother-of-pearl and polished gold can pick up scratches more easily. Smooth, lightweight pieces are the safest companions.
Q: How does this bracelet fasten? A: This example has a lobster clasp closure, which offers a secure and practical fastening for everyday use.
Q: What is included with this piece, and what is its condition? A: According to the product information, this bracelet comes with its box, certificate, and booklet. Its overall condition is listed as Very Good, with light traces of use and shiny hardware showing light scratches.
