Van Cleef & Arpels Earring
Every pair of Van Cleef and Arpels earrings gathered here turns on a motif you can name from across a room — the Alhambra clover above all, in Vintage, Magic, Sweet and Lucky versions, at two and three motifs, mini through big. Beside them sit Two Butterfly drops, Sweet Heart studs, Cosmos flowers and a Rose de Noël pair, in grey mother of pearl. Start here when the motif has to be recognisable and the scale is yours to pick.

Van Cleef and Arpels Earrings: Alhambra Clovers, Butterflies and Cosmos
How the Alhambra families differ once they are on your ear
The clover runs through most of these Van Cleef & Arpels earrings, and the families it appears in are not interchangeable. Vintage Alhambra keeps the beaded outline around one flat clover per ear, in grey mother of pearl. Magic Alhambra breaks the symmetry — two or three motifs of unequal size hang together, so the pair moves as you do. Sweet Alhambra shrinks the same outline to something that sits under a shirt collar all week. Lucky Alhambra sets differently shaped motifs side by side.
Beyond the clover
The figurative pairs are where this range widens: Two Butterfly drops, one version in blue stones with diamond-style pavé, Cosmos flowers in small and standard scale, Sweet Heart and heart studs, a Flowerlace pair, Lucky Spring plum blossom, and Rose de Noël. A single mother-of-pearl clover stud is the quietest thing in the Van Cleef & Arpels lineup here; a full-diamond Vintage Alhambra pair is the loudest.
- Mini and small scales stay close to the lobe and layer with a second piercing, while big and large versions carry a plain neckline on their own.
- Motif count changes movement more than size does — three motifs swing, one sits still.
- Grey mother of pearl is the quiet option; the full-diamond pairs beside it are the brightest thing in the range.
- Studs suit long hair and glasses; drops need the ear clear to be seen.
Where these sit in the Andy Chan range
Andy Chan stocks replica designer jewelry, eyewear and watches, so these Van Cleef & Arpels earrings sit alongside matching necklaces, bracelets and rings in the same motifs. Each pair is titled with its family, motif count, scale and stone colour — the detail that lets you tell two near-identical pairs apart before you decide, which is what most shoppers here are trying to settle.
Frequently asked questions
1. What is the difference between Vintage Alhambra and Magic Alhambra earrings?
Vintage Alhambra pairs one evenly beaded clover to each ear. Magic Alhambra hangs two or three motifs of different sizes together, so it drops lower and moves more. Vintage is the symmetrical, everyday reading of the motif; Magic is the version people notice.
2. Which Van Cleef & Arpels earrings work best for everyday wear?
The mini and small scales — Sweet Alhambra, the single mother-of-pearl clover studs, Sweet Heart and the small Cosmos flowers. They sit flat against the lobe, stay clear of collars and scarves, and pair with a Vintage Alhambra pendant without competing with it.
3. Are these studs or drop earrings?
Both. Studs cover the clover motif, heart, flower and letter styles; drops cover Two Butterfly, the multi-motif Magic Alhambra pairs, Lucky Spring plum blossom and the longer Cosmos designs. Filter by how much movement you want rather than by motif alone.
4. What stones do these Van Cleef & Arpels earrings use?
Grey mother of pearl on the Alhambra clover pairs, blue stones on one of the Two Butterfly versions, and full-diamond settings on the Vintage Alhambra pairs. The rest carry the motif with no stone at all.
5. How do I know which version I am actually getting?
Each title names the motif family, the motif count, the scale and the stone — Magic Alhambra 3 Motifs, Vintage Alhambra Mini, Grey Mother of Pearl. Read that against the photographs, since near-identical pairs differ mainly in count and size.
