Van Cleef & Arpels: Perlée Collection

May 2010


The Perlée collection by Van Cleef & Arpels features strands of tiny golden beads and is imbued with the legacy of Van Cleef & Arpels’ expertise and the aesthetics inspired by the Maison’s heritage.

The pearled border, braided onto a ribbon of gold, unfurls to create strings of golden beads transformed into slim contemporary rings and bracelets. It offers a mixture of assorted hues of white or pink gold, to wear stacked one by one.

Perlée rings

If certain rings from the Perlée collection reflect symmetry and regularity, others indulge a flowing stream of pearls that increase then decrease in size around the band.

The polished beads are also transformed into precious braids of matt or satin-brushed ribbons. Wound into rings, the Perlée collection exhibits various details: a refined engraving of the Van Cleef & Arpels name in italic cursive script, Alhambra motifs set with round diamonds, or circles paved entirely with diamonds using an exclusive setting technique, which enables three different sizes of round diamonds to be incorporated.

Perlée, bangle bracelet

Offering a refreshing change in tone, the Bangle bracelet has also become part of the Perlée collection. Just like the rings, it is adorned with a line of brightly polished beads.
