All auctions / Ethnographical / Sterling Silver 925 - Pendant - Italian craftsmanship


Elegant handmade drop earrings in Sardonyx cameo, finished in 18k yellow gold plated silver, crafted in Torre del Greco, a city renowned worldwide as the capital of cameos and Mediterranean Red Coral processing. A jewel that expresses the tradition and excellence of Italian craftsmanship, entirely handmade by master engravers. Each earring is adorned with a refined hand-engraved sardonyx cameo depicting a delicate floral motif inspired by the sunflower. The engraving highlights every petal with extraordinary precision, creating an elegant contrast between the natural tones of the sardonyx shell. The mounting in 925 silver plated in yellow gold enhances the cameo with a modern and refined style, while the double-element pendant design provides movement and lightness, making these earrings ideal for both elegant occasions and everyday wear. Each cameo is unique and unrepeatable: the natural veining of the shell and the entirely manual workmanship make each jewel different from any other.
