Van Cleef & Arpels’ “Perlée” collection continues to showcase the iconic “golden bead” decorative element. Drawing inspiration from the maison’s archival treasures, the collection reinterprets two classic designs from the 1960s and 1970s.
The Perlée Couleurs rings are inspired by the Caroline ring, created by Van Cleef & Arpels in the 1970s. The ring face features 5 columns and 3 rows of colorful gemstones, cleverly forming a gem-studded ribbon that seamlessly integrates with the golden bead decoration extending from both ends. Another set of single-stone rings draws inspiration from the Philippine ring, introduced in 1968.
The ring face is crafted from custom-cut lapis lazuli, malachite, red coral, turquoise, and striped agate, with curved contours that emphasize the bright luster of these semi-precious stones. A notable feature is the double row of golden beads and diamonds framing the connection between the stone and the ring band, exuding an exquisite and vintage charm.

Van Cleef & Arpels has also introduced two groups of timepieces. The Perlée watches incorporate the golden bead decoration into the bezel, complemented by a guilloché-patterned dial that creates a flowing light effect.
The Perlée Toi & Moi cuff watches feature a semi-open design, with the ends of the cuff extending into two semi-precious stones bordered by golden beads. One of these stones conceals a mother-of-pearl dial beneath it. All timepieces are equipped with quartz movements.
