How refreshing did Jessica Biel look at the L.A. premiere for her new film, “A-Team?” Not only was she modern and understated in a white Emilio Pucci gown designed by my good friend Peter Dundas, but she had the foresight to pair her dress with not Fred Leighton, not Cartier, not Bulgari–but Vhernier jewels. I recently discovered this Italian jeweler’s designs while interviewing the Mayor of Milan for a story and have become quite fond of the company and its focus on quality and heritage over in-your-face pretentiousness. For her big night, Jessica wore Vhernier’s large Camuration ring in rose gold chalcedony turquoise) and Orecchini Vague earrings in rose gold kogolong. Bold and beautifully shaped yet subtly refined, the jewels don’t cost the six-digit fortunes of many of the brand’s jewelry counterparts, but the statement they make is equally long-lasting. I absolutely love how the white stone in Jessica’s earrings match with her Pucci dress; the white-on-white is a stunning statement for a woman as beautiful as she is.
