In a delightful embrace of the winter season, Van Cleef & Arpels introduces the captivating Perlée Breeze 2023 collection. This exquisite collection collaborates with esteemed French Designer Arthur Hoffner, a dear friend of the Maison dating back to 2018. Drawing inspiration from the brand’s iconic golden beads, each piece effortlessly encapsulates the essence of winter’s ethereal delight.
Celebrate the Winter Season with the 2023 Perlée Breeze Collection
“The very idea of Perlée is to showcase the golden bead, a Van Cleef & Arpels motif that has become emblematic,” said Nicolas Bos, President and CEO of Van Cleef & Arpels. “On the Perlée creations, the golden bead is somewhat elevated from being an accessory to a central element that adds a playful depiction of geometry to the world of Van Cleef & Arpels.”
The Perlée collection showcases a breathtaking array of jewellery and timepieces that exude a sophisticated charm. Each piece is adorned with a stunning combination of precious stones, available in yellow, white, or rose gold. The golden beads, crafted from 18-karat gold, are a hallmark of the Perlée collection and take centre stage, meticulously arranged to create a sense of movement and depth.

At the heart of the Perlée Breeze collection lies the signature Perlée – a captivating arrangement of golden beads highlighting the delicate calligraphy. Each bead is meticulously crafted and expertly set to create a stunning interplay of light and movement. The golden beads, a truly iconic motif of Van Cleef & Arpels, serve as a testament to Maison’s unwavering commitment to impeccable craftsmanship and attention to intricate embellishments that grace its magnificent creations.

It is no exception that the beads give the Perlée timepieces a balanced sense of volume; they are generous, smooth, and regular. The Perlée watches offer a diverse range of wearing styles and aesthetics, effectively showcasing Van Cleef & Arpels’ concept of time-telling jewels. After being set with precious stones, the pieces showcase intricate openwork that maximises light reflection and shine. Mirror polishing on the precious metal brings out its lustre, resulting in a play of glints that feels soft against the skin.
To enhance the collection’s wintery theme, Van Cleef & Arpels has incorporated sparkling diamonds into many of the pieces — earrings, bracelets, and rings. Each piece is designed to be worn alone or stacked together for a more layered look. The result is a breathtaking display of light and brilliance reminiscent of snow-covered landscapes and twinkling stars. The precious stones are carefully selected to enhance the beauty and radiance of the creations, and only the highest-quality diamonds are chosen.
