Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra

During our trip to Spain, one of the cities we visited was Seville. I've always enjoyed architecture, and Seville definitely delivered. The place that left the biggest impression was the Alcazar with its Moorish aesthetic.
This is very similar to the Alhambra that can be found in Granada...
which from what I know, is the inspiration for Van Cleef & Arpels' Alhambra collection.
I know, I know, this necklace is eons of seasons ago but i still LOVE it! It's a classic and will never be out of style. Unfortunately, it is also ridiculously expensive. I think the one Reese is wearing retails somewhere upwards of $6k. I so need to have this.

On a side note, Heidi Klum for Mouawad used to have a collection quite similar to VC&A at a more reasonable price. It was also available at QVC at one point. However, VC&A has since sued them for copyright infringement. So I guess, we'll just have to opt for the real deal.
