Perlée and perlage are French words for pearl pattern, a decorative metallic finish consisting of a pattern of small circles (pearls) applied to a surface by grinding. It is mostly used in the automotive and watchmaking industries as an indicator of expensive craftsmanship, particularly if applied by hand rather than machine.
