Alhambra travels

A New York times article about the emotion behind personal ornaments: about my jewelry attachments

With the creeping years I get increasingly attached to my jewelry. Treasured rings, bracelets and necklaces  almost become my companions. I remember special occasions when I wore them, what I was thinking and feeling at the time, the jewelry tells stories.

When it comes to my absolute favorite pieces, like my vintage Alhambra by Van Cleef & Arpels. I’m so attached I live in fear of losing them. This is jewelry that I want to pass on to my children. All of which means I find this article in the New York Times fascinating.

Their jewely has become part of these people, and I understand that.

Spirited and quirky, Van Cleef’s spirited Lucky Charm is another piece that might well find its way into my family’s jewelry box.
