The Alpha Ancre de Marine Bicolore Pendant

The Alpha Ancre de Marine Bicolore Pendant

Archive Collection

A spectacular, highly detailed nod to nautical luxury, The Alpha Ancre de Marine Bicolore Pendant is a rare late-1980s archival treasure. Exemplifying Alpha's celebrated engineering standards, this statement piece transforms the rugged, functional geometry of a classic ship's anchor (ancre de marine) into a highly refined, two-tone sculpture of pure Parisian elegance.

The pendant features a masterfully detailed, layered construction. The central shank and the sweeping curved arms of the anchor are designed to mimic a heavy, twisted maritime rope, beautifully finished in a bright, high-polished silver-tone/rhodium plating. Wrapping around this textured rope base are structured collars, a smooth stock (crossbar), and pointed flukes cast in a rich, warm 22kt gold plating. Adding a regal depth to the mixed-metal aesthetic, the golden accents are set with smooth, deep sapphire-blue glass cabochons at the crown, the crossbar ends, and the center of the crown. The bold interplay of cool silver, warm gold, and rich ocean blue evokes the effortless sophistication of French Riviera yachting culture.

As an authentic archival find from the peak era of Alpha jewelry engineering, this pendant boasts the exceptional casting weight, flawless three-dimensional definition, and signature premium plating durability iconic to the brand’s vintage legacy.
