{"product_id":"van-cleef-arpels-perlee-diamond-pendant-necklace-18k-white-gold","title":"Van Cleef \u0026 Arpels Perlee Diamond Pendant Necklace 18K White Gold","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe golden bead is the quiet thread that runs through Van Cleef \u0026amp; Arpels' century. It first appeared in the Maison's Couscous designs of the late 1940s — small polished spheres arranged along flexible chains, a detail Estelle Arpels and her brothers borrowed from North African craft traditions and made entirely their own. In 2008 the Maison drew that vocabulary into a single collection and named it Perlée. The bead became the signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis pendant is one of the line's earliest expressions and one of its most distilled. A small round disc set with pavé brilliant-cut diamonds, framed by a halo of polished golden beads — eighteen tiny spheres ringing the diamonds like a coronet. The disc suspends from a fine cable chain in 18K white gold, picking up the motif from the pendant itself. The clasp is signed Van Cleef \u0026amp; Arpels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis particular Perlée pendant model has been retired from current Van Cleef \u0026amp; Arpels boutiques. The Perlée line continues in clover, signature, and pearls of gold variations, but this exact round pavé-with-bead-border configuration is no longer in production — making the piece increasingly sought on the secondary market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWorn alone against a high collarbone for daily wear. Layered over a longer Alhambra or Frivole chain for depth. Slipped under a silk blouse so only a flash of diamonds shows when she leans forward. Perlée was always meant to be lived in, not saved for occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Van Cleef and Arpels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47918481113309,"sku":"0003982","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/7828\/2405\/files\/van-cleef-arpels-perle-diamond-pendant-necklace-18k-white-gold-0003982-1238426108.jpg?v=1778776480","url":"https:\/\/www.opulentjewelers.com\/products\/van-cleef-arpels-perlee-diamond-pendant-necklace-18k-white-gold","provider":"Opulent Jewelers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
