Mellerio

Giardino

A four-petalled flower in openwork gold with a lace edge, set with one stone at its heart, taken from the gardens of Isola Madre on Lake Maggiore.

Calla

Vhernier

Calla

One smooth cone, furled like a calla lily, hung alone on a necklace whose clasp disappears.

Laure-Isabelle Mellerio cut Giardino's four petals in openwork gold with a lace edge and put a single coloured stone at the heart, ruby, tsavorite or pink sapphire, after the island garden of Isola Madre on Lake Maggiore. Calla keeps its surface closed. Vhernier's single cone, furled like a lily and polished smooth in rose or white gold, hangs alone on a chain, and stones arrived only with the gem-set versions of 2018.
