Elsa Peretti Bone Cuff
A cuff modelled on the bones of the wrist, its edges rolled and its surface dipped, so the metal reads as anatomy rather than ornament.
Scale separates these more than anything. Perlée builds its rings and bangles from tiny polished gold beads, an edging Van Cleef & Arpels has applied since the 1920s and turned into a line in 2008; the rows can be single or many, and the beads are finished on the back too. The Bone Cuff, drawn by Elsa Peretti in 1970, is one broad sculpted form that covers the wrist like a second skeleton. Perlée starts at €880 for a small gold ring; a small Bone Cuff in gold is €29,000.
