Does the bracelet come out in different colors annually? Or how often do they release new colors for the Alhambra bracelet?

Hi! The Alhambra comes in multiple different colors because of the different gemstones used, like onyx, Malachite, Lapis Lazuli and others. Van Cleef might launch a new Alhambra collection now and then with new materials and colors but is not something they do frequently. Thank you for your comment!
