Freccia

An arrowhead of carved rock crystal domed over thin slices of coloured stone, so the colour seems to float deep inside a lens, set in smooth polished gold.

Freccia at Vhernier

The story

Freccia, Italian for arrow, is built on trasparenza, the layering Angela Camurati worked out in the 1980s to make colour come forward: an opaque or translucent stone sits beneath a carved lens of rock crystal. A ring might stack black jade, opal and crystal. For its Dubai Mall boutique in 2018 Vhernier made a blue Freccia suite of ring, earrings and a cuff of arrowheads in rose gold, with one arrow in diamonds.
