There is something primitive about the [Perles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reine-de-naples) collection by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec. A series of necklaces, they have a tribal appeal, which is a bit of a departure for the name of the collection, which is a twist on 'pearls.' Made up of trapezoid-shaped stones, specifically blood jasper, black onyx and Carrara marble, the necklaces are much more approachable and everyday than actual pearls.

Adding a different touch to such jewelry pieces, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec introduce a design that many bohemian individuals will love. Available in three sizes and colors, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec created the Perles collection as a project for Gallery kreo in Paris, France. The necklaces make quite an impact on outfits.
