104 BAL HARBOUR XXX is meticulously crafted by hand. This attention to detail spills over into every aspect of the brand, including Vhernier's retail boutiques, which are present globally in 12 major cities, including Milan, Rome, Paris, Athens, Geneva, Beverly Hills, Istanbul and Dubai—and as of this fall, Bal Harbour. "I have always loved to visit Bal Harbour Shops," says Traglio. "There is no other shopping destination like it... It's beautiful. It's friendly. It's real luxury." The intimate, 600-square-foot space is designed in Vhernier's signature style, with sleek contemporary interiors that allow the jewelry to shine. "There is the same Vhernier DNA," Traglio says of the design, "however, we have changed the colors a bit to represent Miami and will be using lots of leather and fresh materials." In addition to Vhernier's core collection, the boutique will debut with a few top-secret pieces created especially for the store. There will also be several new introductions for Fall, including Pirouette ear clips— an extension of Vhernier's classic rings of the same name—Olimpia, a line of interlocking chain-like pieces available in rose gold, white gold with diamonds and full black or white diamond pavé and Rainbow, a capsule collection of 100 cocktail rings featuring vibrant stones such as citrine, purple amethyst and blue topaz, all cushion-cut and set on candy-colored titanium. "They are such a joy to wear," says Traglio. "It's time to have a little fun." "It's fresh, unusual and very recognizable. You can immediately tell that a piece is Vhernier."
