Piaget

Piaget Sunlight

The sun as a disc of gold rays, each segment engraved, brushed or polished, around a halo of diamonds.

Alhambra

Van Cleef & Arpels

Alhambra

A four-leaf clover cut from stone and ringed with a double row of gold beads, repeated along a chain like a string of charms.

Turquoise, malachite, amazonite or mother-of-pearl sit at the heart of Piaget Sunlight, ringed by diamonds and by gold rays engraved, brushed or polished in Decor Palace finishes. The Alhambra's clover, drawn in 1968, uses the same family of hard stones, mother-of-pearl, onyx, malachite and carnelian, inside a beaded gold rim, repeated like charms along a chain. Van Cleef & Arpels makes the stone the shape itself; Piaget makes it the core of a radiating disc.
