EDITOR'S REVIEW
Who would have thought that mother-of-pearl and carnelian could so perfectly mimic the fine down of a penguin? Created by Italian jewellery house Vhernier, which is known for its contemporary designs with a sense of surprise and dash of Italian style, this delightful Arctic bird is one of Vhernier’s growing menagerie of Animalier brooches. The penguin’s body is created using the "trasparenza" technique of layering stones to create brilliant colour effects. Showing painstaking attention to detail, even his glossy onyx wings, beak and eyes shimmer with diamonds.
