Everyday beauty
Jewelry doesn't have to be saved for a special occasion. Van Cleef & Arpels's new bracelet and ring from its iconic Perlée collection are easy to wear on a daily basis. By LENA KAMARUDIN
WEDDINGS AND BLACK TIE EVENTS are the usual occasions for people to break into their fixed deposit boxes or max out the credit cards at a trip to the jeweller's. But these days, those with high disposable incomes don't stop at special occasions. For them, jewellery can be an everyday affair too.
Of course, we're not talking about major bling. Layering jewellery is a trend that is growing, and boosting the demand for dainty, modern and minimalist designs. One of the key considerations is quality - the jewellery should be so well made it's impervious to the ravages of daily "wear and tear". Which is why there is such a big fanbase for Van Cleef & Arpels's new bracelet and ring from its iconic Perlée collection.
Decorated in rows of yellow gold beads, the ring and bracelet from the French luxury jewellery brand is the latest addition to the Perlée range which was launched in 2008. The gold beads were a recurring feature in the brand's designs since the 1920s and now have become an independent signature, showcased within the Perlée collection.
