The Perlée collection, known for its exquisite curves, presents a new ring crafted from gold decorated with gadroons (rounded, fluted carvings) and set with diamonds. Its dazzling beauty is inspired by the Maison's classic creations, particularly the Tartelette ring, created in 1948. This ring was released in various variations and remained a huge hit throughout the following decade. Now, the new Perlée diamond pave ring is available in three luminous gold colors, each with its own unique sparkle.

Dazzling Curves

Continuing the playful spirit of the Perlée collection, Van Cleef & Arpels has drawn inspiration from the Maison's heritage pieces to create these curved rings in yellow, white, and rose gold. The rings' gold bases are lavishly decorated with gadroons, gently enveloping the finger for exceptional comfort. The effect of volume reaches its zenith at the domed crown. The gold domes are paved with diamonds of different sizes, further enhancing the rich three-dimensional effect. These new pieces bring a new level of beauty to the Perlée collection. The gadroons reflect the light and change appearance with every movement of the hand. The dazzling brilliance of the diamonds and the delicate shimmer of the gold create a synergistic effect that captivates the onlooker.

A ring inspired by the Maison's heritage
In 1948, an oval ring with a slightly raised surface set with pavé diamonds and surrounded by gadroons in yellow gold entered the Maison's archives. Its silhouette is reminiscent of a signet ring engraved with a coat of arms. Gadroons are also a technique linked to the tradition of goldsmithing, which has been used for centuries, particularly in the field of tableware. Towards the end of the 1940s, Van Cleef & Arpels often drew inspiration from other disciplines, including couture, to enhance the beauty of gold and enhance its brilliance with three-dimensional textures.

The oval ring model decorated with gadroons was patented in 1949. Renamed the Tartelette ring in 1950, it was reinterpreted in various shapes, including round, rectangular, and spiral, and enjoyed great success throughout the following decade. Set with diamonds and hard stones, these pieces reflected the trends of the era, featuring meticulously crafted yellow gold forms and eye-catching volumes in daytime jewelry. From the 1950s to the 1970s, the soft curves of the gadroons adorned a wide range of accessories for both men and women, from rings and earrings to watches, lighters, powder cases, and perfume bottles. Now, this Maison's enduring aesthetic has been reinterpreted with generously pavéd dome details, resulting in a new creation that celebrates the play of light and curves: the Perlée Diamond Pavé Ring.

Exceptional Craftsmanship
Perlée creations are in keeping with Van Cleef & Arpels' unparalleled tradition, imbuing every detail with the Maison's expertise and savoir-faire as a high jeweler. To create the soft, voluptuous effect of each ring, jewelers carefully hand-set the gadroons, achieving a meticulous balance. A high-gloss polish then enhances the brilliance. The interior of the ring is also meticulously polished, ensuring both beauty and comfort when worn.

The diamonds that sparkle within the ring's dome are carefully selected according to the strictest quality standards, ranging in color from D to F and clarity from IF to VVS. The openwork gold structure sheds new light on the purest traditions of fine jewelry, enhancing the diamonds' brilliance. Each ring is set with 37 diamonds of varying sizes, totaling 2.28 carats, to enhance the overall volume.
