Opal, Quartz and 18K White Gold Turtle Brooch
Designed and fabricated by Casa Vhernier
One of the premier manufacturers based in the jewelry making center of Valenza, Italy, La Casa Vhernier was established in 1984 by its owner, a refined art collector and entrepreneur, Carlo Traglio. Over the past two decades the name has become synonymous with glamour and innovation, with their production of highly evocative pieces that are both timeless and elegant. Vhernier jewelry embodies a certain spirit of casual chic, with a fondness for the juxtaposition of materials in an unorthodox way which gives the collection its special and unique appeal. This charming and well-crafted turtle is composed of hand carved rock crystal quartz laid over a fine quality, harlequin pattern Australian black opal base. The legs and head are enhanced with a total of 0.76 carats round brilliant-cut diamonds pave-set in 18K white gold, stamped Vhernier, 750.
