La Casa Vhernier is probably one of the most innovative jewellery design houses working today. Specialising in abstract plant and animal forms, they exploit the optical properties of gemstones in a new way by sandwiching and juxtapositioning translucent and transparent materials to create unique optical effects. This is combines with pavé diamond work which is among the finest that is being done in the world today. Here, Christie's presents their first pieces using gem quality jadeite, the fish emanating a liveliness and charm which is characteristic of all their work
