A Delicate, New Alhambra Inspired by Cherry Blossoms
Since its debut in 1968, the Alhambra collection has continuously evolved. These limited editions, paying homage to four iconic boutiques globally, express new facets of Alhambra by combining motifs and materials of various sizes. Unique pieces have been created for each location: Place Vendôme in Paris, Fifth Avenue in New York, Prince's Building in Hong Kong, and the Ginza main store in Tokyo.
The Ginza main store's exclusive Alhambra features a design that celebrates the Maison's connection with Tokyo, marking its expansion into Japan in 1973. Combining rose gold and white mother-of-pearl reminiscent of cherry blossoms, it achieves a delicate and charming expression.
The collection includes two styles: a light, long necklace featuring alternating motifs of mother-of-pearl, openwork, and diamonds, and a pendant with a larger motif. Both models are engraved with the boutique's name, adding to their exclusive appeal.
Long Necklace
Price: ¥5,940,000 (tax included)
Pendant
Price: ¥345,600 (tax included)
Both available from Friday, July 4th
