I have a small Peretti catalog from 2007. It features 14 the lines she designed. I like how each is lyrically described (as follows) and wanted to share with my fellow fans!

Bone - “Elsa Peretti takes familiar shapes and transforms them into universal forms of beauty. Her designs are quintessentially simple yet so eloquent. Their sensuous contours make them one with the body."
Round - “There is no shape more complete, more eternal than the circle. It hypnotizes like the moon. Its graceful arc pleases the eye and hand. Smooth and sensual, this perfect round retains its allure for all time.”
Starfish - “The star evokes life beneath the waves and in the skies. It is a beacon, evocative and stylish.”
Bean - “The bean speaks to the origins of life. The subtle hollows conjure up the curves of a woman’s neck.”
Open Heart - “The heart is open and receptive. The classic shape, hung slightly askew, reflects both the idyllic and fragile nature of love. There is something to pure, so sublime, in the absolute essence of this form.”
Wave - “The wave has a quiet, hypnotic quality. A powerful motion captured in a graceful swoop. It seduces the eye and soothes the spirit.”
Sevillana - “The fiery sevillana cuts a dramatic figure, flashing as you move. This elegant circle has maximum effect with minimum fuss.”
Pearls by the Yard - “Pearls are sleek treasures, harboring deep luminescence. On a chain they are refined, radiant and lustrous.”
Snake - “This serpentine form with its primitive simplicity carries both ancient overtones of temptation and streamlined modernity.”
Lacquered Bangles - “Lacquered to gleaming reflection, these pneumatic contours present a piece of theatre.”
Teardrop - “A teardrop suspended in a moment. Reminiscent of a raindrop, or a spot of morning dew.”
Aegean - “Chains worn and weathered into a perfect imperfection. Smoothed as though tumbled beneath the waves of the sea.”
Mesh - “A wonderous fabric of spun gold, so supple as it contours to the body.”
Diamonds by the Yard - “These diamonds, playing with light and spilling brilliance. They wink, they tantalize, they transfix.”
