Van Cleef & Arpels launches new Bridal ranges

Perlée solitaire A double tribute to the union between Alfred Van Cleef and Esther, known as Estelle, Arpels and to the Maison’s jewellery excellence, the Perlée solitaire is inspired by the refined elegance and playful charm of the Perlée collection, remarkable since its creation in 2008. Light, mischievous, and with a simplicity that gives it character and class, the famous collection and its white and pink gold pearls now celebrates marriage; sealing each wish for happiness that has been part of Van Cleef & Arpels’ enchanted love stories since 1906. Thanks to the timeless modernity of its design, the Perlée solitaire doesn’t just symbolise the pledge of engagement, but also all of the occasions to celebrate love and happiness. Purity and delicacy, allied with true aesthetic style, give this solitaire the gift of fulfilling all of the wishes of the couple that choose it. Pink gold and sparkling diamond A hue never used before in the solitaire collection, pink gold becomes emblematic at Van Cleef & Arpels. It enhances the dreamy femininity of the Perlée ring’s soft contours, adorned with a dazzling diamond. New proof of the savoir-faire dear to Van Cleef & Arpels, the Perlée solitaire is adapted to four carat weights (0.30 – 0.50 – 0.70 – 1 carat). Each diamond is selected according to the Maison’s stringent criteria for excellence (D-E / IF-VVS). The stone is delicately perched on its mounting and surrounded in perfect harmony with an array of gold pearls. The four rounded prongs that hold the diamond are polished to mirror sheen and replicate the gold beads that are sculpted at regular intervals all along the ring’s shank. Beautifully enhanced, the diamond comes to life and sparkles with fiery light. The Perlée solitaire carries a wish for joy and happiness in each of its gold pearls. This ode to excellence and modernity invites the couple that choose this ring into the enchanted book of love stories told by Van Cleef & Arpels. Romance wedding band Symbolising the pure lines and excellence dear to Van Cleef & Arpels, the Romance wedding band completes the Maison’s Bridal collection. Sharing the same auspicious name, the Romance solitaire and wedding band now beat with the same heart. A ribbon of pure diamonds Just like a precious ribbon, the contours of the Romance band wrap delicately around the finger. Remarkably slender and slightly curved, its perfect fit offers lightness, softness and comfort. Thanks to the stringent selection of stones (D-E-F / IF-VVS); each diamond on the Romance wedding band is a promise of dazzling purity. The diamonds, positioned like stars in a constellation, unveil perfect symmetry and regularity. The Romance wedding band: the refinement of High Jewellery The Van Cleef & Arpels Mains d’Or created the Romance band with the same care and attention as they would for a High Jewellery piece. A jeweller’s signature, the honeycomb technique, demands the highest level of finish for the setting, making itself as discreet as possible in order to let the diamonds shine at their brightest. After crossing the minutely polished platinum openings, the light refracts at the heart of each diamond, diffusing its fiery sparkle all around the band. Another savoir-faire that comes from High Jewellery is the six grain setting technique. A privilege bestowed on all of the Bridal collections, it now also enhances the Romance wedding band. Once the platinum has been carved out with the utmost care, the stone is secured into place by six beads. In perfect alliance with the timelessness and purity of the diamond, this new band pays a dazzling tribute to happy weddings and romantic harmony. The uninterrupted line of diamonds embodies the constancy of love’s ties. The discreet and delicate curve suggests idyllic happiness. The jewellery excellence and perfect aesthetic purity of the Romance wedding band offers a doorway to the happy couple into the enchanted book of love stories told by the Maison since 1906.
