Set within two of China’s most influential and culturally vibrant cities, the new spaces invite clients to experience the Maison’s universe, where Italian craftsmanship meets a distinctive, sculptural approach to jewellery design and pure volumes meet remarkable wearability.

Both boutiques present a curated selection of Vhernier jewels. Among all creations chosen by discerning clients and celebrities, a prominent space is dedicated to two iconic collections: Abbraccio, whose fluid and enveloping forms in mirror-shine gold fully expresses the aesthetic vision of the Maison, and Calla, a resolutely modern design defined by bold yet essential volumes. These creations stand alongside the new and highly innovative Ardis high jewellery collection. 

The stores also offer some of the most emblematic collections, such as Freccia and Palloncino created with Trasparenze, the signature hand-crafting technique thanks to which Vhernier adds colour to its sculptural forms. They further showcase collections covered with the sensual two-prong pavés, smooth and extraordinarily luminous such as Verso, Pirouette and Tourbillon; and creations that combine gold and diamonds with unconventional materials, such as titanium, aluminium, bronze and ebony, a testament to the research and experimentation that have established Vhernier as a highly distinctive jewellery Maison.

The Shanghai and Beijing boutiques are both designed according to Vhernier’s architectural concept developed by Matteo Fraticelli of New York’s FROM Architecture, which translates the Maison’s visual identity into a cohesive spatial experience defined by clarity, material richness and balanced proportions.

While sharing a common language, the two locations are distinguished by their scale and atmosphere. The Shanghai boutique, conceived on a more intimate scale, conveys a contemporary and dynamic spirit through a fluid layout that enhances the dialogue between the jewellery and its surroundings. The Beijing boutique unfolds over 130 square metres, allowing for an articulated spatial experience. It is conceived with a private and residential feel, centred around a spacious VIP room dedicated to bespoke appointments. This exclusive area is enriched by jewellery sketches displayed on the walls, while Chinotto armchairs by Milanese architect Luigi Caccia Dominioni introduce a refined reference to Italian design heritage, contributing to a sense of timeless elegance. 

With these two openings, Vhernier continues to build a strong and coherent presence in key international markets, engaging with a clientele that appreciates design, craftsmanship and a distinctive aesthetic vision.

“Shanghai and Beijing represent a natural step in our growth journey and follow the boutique we recently inagurated in Hong Kong, which was very well received by the local clients,” says Gianluca Brozzetti, Executive Vice President and CEO. “These openings reflect our intention to develop a meaningful and lasting presence in Mainland China.”

“Shanghai and Beijing have an innate sense of style and local people possess an instinctive appreciation for elegance and true craftsmanship” says Isabella Traglio, Head of Design and R&D. “Some of them have already had the opportunity to meet our Maison during their trips to Milano, Paris or Dubai and now we’re very excited to share our vision of contemporary jewellery with them in their home country”.
