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. 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.
We'd hold off — it's 17.4% above its 12-month low, 8.4% above its 90-day average, and it ticked up 1.8% this month.
- Signature design with constrained supply
- Resale index tracks frequent retail hikes
- Strong demand keeps values firm
- Onyx and gold edges chip and scratch
- Widely counterfeited, authentication vital
- Limited secondary supply can mean waiting
We combine today's price position within this product's own 12-month range, its distance from the all-time low, and the recent trend. The score reflects price timing and is the same in every market; only the displayed prices and retailers change. We never accept payment to change a score. Read the full methodology →
