Exploring The Newest Additions To Van Cleef & Arpels’
Exploring the newest additions to one of Van Cleef & Arpels’ most celebrated collections. First introduced in 2008, Van Cleef & Arpels’ Perlée collection stands as one of the iconic Parisian maison’s most sought-after jewellery lines. Its sophisticated style, largely thanks to the delicate golden beads and clean lines present in the understated-yet-imminently-chic pieces that are added to it year upon year, is admired by famous faces like Taylor Swift, Reese Witherspoon, and Emma Stone, who have all been sighted wearing their favourite Perlée pieces by day and on the red carpet.
The Perlée collection simultaneously exudes refinement and evokes the playful sense of joie de vivre that has reeled in so many famous fans. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, each Perlée piece showcases the French house’s expertise and excellent craftsmanship through delicate and seamless finishes. Sometimes colourful, but always sophisticated, Perlée pieces are loved by those who appreciate unabashedly modern silhouettes, with three defining features: golden beads, diamond clove motifs, and the occasional calligraphed Van Cleef & Arpels signature. Whether you’re seeking a statement piece or a nod to quiet luxury, Perlée has something for you.
A new Perlée for 2024
Golden beads illuminate the newest Perlée collection creations, with bracelets, rings, and earrings adorned with the radiance of yellow, rose, or white gold alongside a shimmer of diamonds. A true statement piece, the Perlée diamond five-row bracelet sees the golden beads dance around the wrist in an unexpected and joyful asymmetric composition. The always-dazzling golden beads sit beautifully alongside diamonds arranged harmoniously in a series of diagonal bands. Consisting of two, three, or five rows, they bring the creation to life with clever interplays of shapes and light.
The gemstones are highlighted through openwork on the precious metal, with honeycomb-shaped apertures that allow light to travel through the stones and enhance the shine of the overall piece. Coloured precious stones also adorn thisnew creation, a fiery red of ruby meeting the softnessof rose gold, while the hues of sapphires and emeraldscombine with the radiance of yellow gold. Another highly covetable piece, the Perlée diamonds duo ring presents a completely unique new aesthetic.
In yellow, rose, or white gold, it showcases the meeting between two rings: one in mirror-polished gold, one of the Maison’s signature savoir-faire; the other set with round diamonds that shimmer on the hand thanks to a carefully open-worked structure. The gems are held in place by delicate grains, whose round form echoes that of the iconic golden beads. Lastly, striking a balance between radiance, movement, and lightness in one stunning package, the new Perlée diamond earrings showcase the stones in a generously proportioned composition.
A true statement creation, in yellow, rose, or white gold, they combine round and voluminous proportions with a dome paved entirely with diamonds and paired with a similarly gem-set ring. Conveying the maison’s long-respected tradition of excellence, the diamonds are selected according to the strictest criteria and then skilfully set. They shine as one on the earrings, forming a halo of light that bounces off the face in the most flattering of ways. The entire piece is bordered with golden beads, enhancing its radiance and making for a superlative piece you won’t want to take off.
