It looks like a new version of the vintage philippine ring. One appears to be turquoise/YG, which may be a nice addition for those looking to match other turquoise/YG pieces, but of course the look is not for everyone.
Yes! The nice thing is it did incorporate a bit more than just an all metal design again...with the turquoise, malachite and onyx variations. I probably liked the onyx / diamond version best. Again it looks heavy on the use of yellow gold again with a couple rg and wg options...
 
Some pictures with new and old Perlee pieces here:

I am not quite getting this... why would VCA use the iconic Tiffany blue shade for the display stands? I actually think the Tiffany blue shade is distracting and takes away from the pieces.

Thanks for sharing! I think 2022 is going to be a bust for WG! :biggrin: :heart:
 
Found more pictures (has the rings and lapis):

Now I am thinking no lapis earrings as it suggests launch of pendant with bracelet only. Will ask my SA.

I get it now... VCA is trying to push Perlee Couleurs (google translate works wonders)!

I see turquoise and lapis too, but they are pushing it out via Perlee Couleurs hoping people will buy this new design as "second choice" to turquoise or lapis in Alhambra. I wondered when VCA would push Couleurs; it's been out there for a while, but not many seem to buy this collection.

I have tried on the Perlee Couleurs WG turquoise pieces (e.g. BTF ring, earrings, bracelet). It's nice, but I can't say I love it enough to buy a turquoise set.

I am actually surprised they are using coral given all the controversy around coral.

I was also really surprised to see them use coral… not sure what they are thinking there.

For me the Alhambra earrings don’t sit well on my earrings and I am not one to wear matching sets. The couleurs sit perfectly on my earrings and compliment my other pieces. I can see a market for them.
 
I just hate that bracelet. I would also only be interested in the earrings. And I'm extremely surprised there is coral!!!
I asked my SA to bring in all the WG turquoise pieces from this collection, and every time I tried on a piece, he wrinkled his nose.
When I put the bangle on, he was honest and said definitely not. He said it looked like a David Yurman bangle. Too funny. :biggrin: :heart:

I am sure this collection will appeal to some folks. I will say, the models make these pieces look great which is why I wanted to try them on. They don't look great on me though, they were neither here nor there on me.

I just bought the turquoise earrings, and even though I had the backs replaced, I still cannot wear them because the pointed post and notch catch inside my earlobe rather than coming through!!! I wish I could wear them!
