Verragio’s Debut Fine Jewelry Collections Honor Company Heritage
One of the three new collections was inspired by the legend of a woman who traded her mansion to Cartier for two strands of natural pearls.
Verragio’s fashion jewelry will incorporate elements from its bridal collections, like its engagement ring halos and its signature beading style, making the category a “seamless extension” of its current offerings, the company said.
“Designing engagement rings and wedding bands for the past 27 years has been so fulfilling, and now we have the opportunity to continue to work with our amazing customers in a new capacity, making this moment even more special for us,” said Barry Verragio, CEO and founder of Verragio.
The “Veritage” collection offers jewelry essentials, like diamond pendants and hoops, taking inspiration from the company’s design heritage, like its company crest, its beading style, and settings from its bridal collections.
The “Reverie” collection is an ode to the New York City legend of Mae Manwaring Plant, the woman who traded her home on Fifth Avenue to Pierre Cartier for two strands of natural pearls.
“The legend of Mae Manwaring Plant is among the most celebrated in New York jewelry lore and resonates throughout the Reverie collection,” said the company. “Gilded Victorian opulence meets its match in updated, wearable classics.”
The “Devotion” collection explores the “meditative and spiritual qualities” of beads, found in the earliest forms of jewelry. It features personal talismans set with diamonds and colored stones.
“It has been such a joy bringing the Verragio fine jewelry category to life,” Creative Director Sophia Macris said. “From pulling together the inspiration for each collection to formally debuting the product, this was truly a labor of love and something we look forward to sharing with both our existing and new Verragio customers.
“Whether Verragio fine jewelry helps complete your bridal jewelry for your wedding day or shines on its own adding a little sparkle to your day-to-day, we hope to see our customers look at these new pieces and cherish them as heirlooms for future generations.”
Verragio will be exhibiting at the Couture show in booth Musigny 1.
