Van Cleef & Arpels' Perlée collection is inspired by the French word "Perlée," meaning "beaded". The house has a long history of using a delicate technique, which involves carefully setting tiny golden beads onto jewelry, adding a unique charm and elegance. Though this intricate method dates back centuries, Van Cleef & Arpels began using it in 1920s and 1930s to accentuate gemstones and enhance their designs with beautiful texture and dimension.
