Van Cleef & Arpels Introduces Limited Edition “Magic Alhambra” Collection in Honor of
H.S.H. Princess Charlene of Monaco

Monaco, August 5, 2011 - Recently crowned
H.S.H. Princess Charlene of Monaco has undoubtedly received many luxurious gifts in her honor, but tonight her eye is on those given to her by Parisian Haute Joaillerie Maison Van Cleef & Arpels.

In homage to the new Princess, the Maison has inaugurated an exclusive space: the “Charlene Salon”, in its newly renovated and redesigned boutique in the heart of Monte Carlo. Van Cleef & Arpels has also created a limited edition of 15 sets of “Princess Charlene Magic Alhambra”.

This collection is a reinterpretation of the iconic Alhambra motif. The set, consisting of a sautoir and dangling earrings, is comprised of alternating and asymmetrical clover motifs of pavé diamonds and turquoise. The design evokes the shores of the Principality and is sold exclusively at the Van Cleef & Arpels Boutique in Monaco. A portion of the benefits from sales of this special collection will go to the associations and foundations endorsed by H.S.H. Princess Charlene. A set will be donated this evening by Van Cleef & Arpels to the gala dinner at the Red Cross Ball held in the famous Salle des Etoiles of the Sporting Club on Monte Carlo.

The Red Cross Ball marks H.S.H. Princess Charlene’s Royal debut following her wedding. For this special evening, she will wear the “Océan,” a unique piece designed for her by Van Cleef & Arpels as a gift from H.R.H. Prince Albert of Monaco for their celebrated nuptials. The “Océan” exalts the timelessness and design that has made Van Cleef & Arpels the chosen jeweler of the Royal set for generations. In keeping with the transformational tradition of much of the Van Cleef & Arpels High Jewelry, the “Océan” converts seamlessly between a stunning necklace and a regal tiara fit for a princess.
