Vhernier Calla necklace.

Ebony and pink gold necklace.

Vintage jewelery (year of purchase 2007).

The Calla necklace is a Vhernier icon. Flexible and feminine, it features a single, repeated element that makes it a contemporary and timeless piece of jewellery. The pairing of rose gold with a rare material such as ebony gives the beautiful Calla necklace casual-chic allure.

Characterised by soft curves, extraordinarily bold dimensions, and mesmerising plays of colour, the Vhernier style is distinctive, instantly recognisable, mirroring Italian design, art and architecture. A powerful inspiration filtered by the rigorous yet understated spirit of Milan.

The jewels of the brand may be impressive in size, but never brash. The shapes are designed with the wearer’s body and the surrounding space in mind. An understated attitude is a constant factor in Vhernier design: this is visible in its rings and bracelets that hold, rather than exhibit, sumptuous pavé diamonds and wonderful stones.

Among the first Maisons to adopt rose gold, a discreet hue that suits every skin tone, Vhernier has experimented with the charm of natural materials such as ebony, jet, kogolong, and titanium, with which some of its most famous creations have been crafted.

Each shape is forged by the exceptional skill of Vhernier’s master craftsmen.

The Cause

The Cooperative IL VOLO Onlus, with its headquarters in Monticello, was founded in 2000 thanks to a group of volunteers and mental health specialists, to help youth with psychiatric problems associated with personality disorders—specifically Borderline Personality Disorder—by designing and realizing structures and services for the cure as well as social and work re-insertment.

Personality disorders are conditions of grave psychiatric suffering characterized by an instability of emotions and interpersonal relationships. They are different from other mental issues in that personality disorders don’t deteriorate mental or cognitive functions, and if properly treated at a psychotherapeutic and rehabilitative level they can allow the patient who is suffering to live a life that is balanced socially and workwise.

After chasing this goal, VOLO has created and runs the Comunità Terapeutico-Riabilitativa “Villa Ratti” in Monticello Brianza (LC), which hosts twenty youths between the ages of 18 and 35.

The path of the patients in Villa Ratti lasts about 12-18 months and is based on a Therapeutic Rehabilitative Project which is done through a series of activities—daily, rehabilitative and psychotherapeutic on a few different leves such as personal, social and work.
