Tulle or Abbraccio

Vhernier built its name in Valenza on smooth, swelling volumes of rose or white gold, and Abbraccio, one of its first rings, is made plain or wholly paved with 572 diamonds on two prongs each. Tulle comes from the opposite school, where perforation is everything: a gold plate pierced into hundreds of hexagonal cells after Venetian needle lace, the technique Mario Buccellati developed in the 1920s and still used for bands such as Nuovo Tulle.
