The beloved golden beads of the Perlée collection are interpreted in fresh designs, with the same delicate aesthetic
Perlée is one of Van Cleef & Arpels’ signature and most beloved collections, which now welcomes several new creations. The iconic golden bead motif of the collection was first introduced by Van Cleef & Arpels in the 1920s and, over time, has achieved its status as an icon. This timeless design element has adorned various Van Cleef & Arpels creations over the decades, from the voluminous Couscous and Bagatelle pieces of the 1940s to the whimsical clips of the 1960s. Now, the new Perlée pieces draw inspiration from these patrimonial designs, combining heritage with contemporary aesthetics to create jewellery that is both classic and modern.

One of the new additions to the collection is the Perlée diamonds 5-row bracelet, which complements the existing Perlée rings in the same aesthetic. The asymmetric composition of five rows of golden beads and diamonds lends a dynamic feel to the bracelet, which is available in yellow, rose, or white gold. The openwork in the precious metal highlights the gemstones through honeycomb-shaped apertures that allow light to pass through the stones, enhancing their brilliance.

The maison has also introduced the playful new Perlée diamonds duo ring, which looks like two rings worn crossed over each other. One of them is made in mirror-polished gold and the other is set with shimmering round diamonds. Available in yellow, rose, or white gold, this ring is a versatile piece that pairs beautifully with other creations in the Perlée collection. The combination of the polished gold and the diamond-set band, both edged with golden beads, creates a dazzling composition that exudes elegance and sophistication.

Completing the collection are the Perlée diamonds earrings, which exude both joy and elegance. These earrings, available in yellow, rose, or white gold, feature generously proportioned compositions with domes paved entirely with diamonds. The intricate openwork structure allows light to pass through the stones, creating a halo of light on either side of the face. The earrings are bordered with golden beads that increase in size around the band, adding a dynamic feel to the overall design. The result is a pair of earrings that come to life with every movement, reflecting light and radiance with each turn of the head.
