Here Comes The Sun

Never mind white Christmases and dashing through snow. Van Cleef & Arpels wants you to bask in the radiant glow of the Mediterranean sunshine this festive season.

JOYFULLY FEMININE AND brimming with colour and textures, Van Cleef & Arpels’ Perlée collection bridges contemporary design with ageold savoir-faire as it highlights one of the maison’s traditional aesthetic styles, the golden bead technique. These tiny, gilded spheres – which are cast from precious gold and polished individually by hand – distinguish the Perlée creations from other Van Cleef & Arpels icons.

Shimmering with regal lustre, they lend their rounded forms to a new high jewellery collection that combines this glowing sheen with precious and ornamental stones boasting colours that evoke an enchanting Mediterranean landscape. Think turquoise blue waters, splendid pebble beaches and entire cities bathed in the warmth of a golden sun. Arriving just in time for the festive season, Perles d’été is a carefully curated collection of 12 unique pieces espousing the flamboyant style of 1960s cocktail jewellery.
