The “Freccia” high jewelry collection draws from the “Freccia” collection, meaning “arrow” in Italian, that first launched in 2014 and is characterized by the modular repetition of a single triangular element.
“A recognizable, almost primal shape, strong and stable, yet only seemingly simple,” said Vhernier.
For the high jewelry creations, the jeweler took this element and crafted it in sculptural white gold with a mirror polish.
Each motif is accented by diamonds in a two-prong pavé setting, left as the polished metal, or set with layered gemstones via its “Trasparenze” technique.
The technique allows for rich, shifting hues in a chromatic effect achieved by layering colored gemstones under a dome of polished, transparent rock crystal.

This “Freccia” ring comes from the set without colored gemstones. It focuses on full diamond pavé over the triangular motifs in white gold.
The Freccia high jewelry collection is divided into five sets that include necklaces, rings, bracelets, and earrings.
Four sets focus on different colored gemstones and one on full diamond pavé.
The colored gemstone sets include black jade, green jade, or lapis lazuli layered between mother-of-pearl and rock crystal and a final option with mother-of-pearl and rock crystal.
Vhernier said the sculptural collection’s modular repetition and interplay of finishes conveys a sense of energy and sensuality.
The Freccia high jewelry collection debuted earlier this month and can be seen on the Vhernier website.
