The Van Cleef & Arpels Perlée Collection was first introduced 2008. The brand drew inspiration from the delicate beading often showcased in French haute couture. At the time of its release, it comprised a range of rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings.
The labor-intensive, high-skilled technique involves using a small drill to make evenly spaced holes which are then filled with tiny beads or pearls. These are then carefully secured using a special bead-setting tool.
Perlée pieces are characterized by polished, clean lines and modern silhouettes, with three defining features: golden beads, diamond clove motifs, and the occasional calligraphed Van Cleef & Arpels signature.
The Couleurs collection features a range of stunning gemstones including turquoise, carnelian, and onyx. Designed to be mixed and matched or stacked with classic Perlée pieces, Couleurs adds a pop of color to any look.
Every piece within the collection is meticulously crafted from premium materials, all carefully selected to meet the brand's exacting quality standards. The variety of gold and gemstones used gives Perlée its joyful identity.
The beaded designs offer texture and dimension and pair well with other jewelry. Perlée pieces are versatile and can be dressed up or down according to the occasion.
The Perlée collection features a range of pieces including rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and watches, with new models introduced periodically. Don't wait to add one to your collection!
