Jewelry from VCA's contemporary Perlee collection revives the gold beading craft.

Many pieces by French jewelers inspired by Egyptian Revival epitomize the gold bead setting of VCA's contemporary Alhambra and Perlee collections is not an exception.

What makes it special, however, is that its style and handcrafted method have become very much a part of the brand's heritage.

The two collections with the cloverleaf motif, are contemporary and completely different from each other. Gold beading unites their simple and practical yet eye-catching style.

Different models can be combined in infinite combinations to express each wearer's unique and personal style.

Pieces from both collections can be thrown on over casual jeans and T-shirts but will be equally appropriate accessories for dressier settings.

"To be lucky, you have to believe in luck," says founder Estelle Arpels' nephew Jacques, who helps his relatives in the business.

What better way to express this than to wear a lucky charm as jewelry? The birth of the Maison's Alhambra collection in 1968 was originally inspired by four-leaf clovers from the Arpels garden.
