Description from the seller

Adjustable 925 sterling silver ring rhodium-plated, adorned with a large hand-engraved Sardonyx cameo depicting a delicate scene with the Moon and a cherub.

The cameo is crafted according to the great Italian engraving tradition and is manually carved on natural sardonyx shell. The composition depicts the Moon’s face, portrayed with elegant, dreamy features, beside a raised cherub holding hearts, a symbol of love and sweetness.

The engraving is performed entirely by hand by skilled artisans, who work the shell using its natural color stratifications to create the contrast between the dark background and the light relief figures. This technique requires great precision and makes every cameo unique and unrepeatable.

The cameo is mounted on a solid rhodium-plated 925 silver setting, which lends brilliance to the jewel and protects the surface of the metal over time. The adjustable setting provides a comfortable fit adaptable to different finger sizes.

This piece embodies an authentic example of Italian cameo tradition, highly appreciated by collectors and lovers of artisanal jewelry.

Seller's Story

My creations are born at the heart of Italy’s artisanal tradition in Torre del Greco, a world-renowned symbol for coral processing and cameo carving. Each piece of jewelry is the result of knowledge handed down through generations: the coral is carefully selected, the cameo hand-carved by master artisans, every detail refined according to techniques that belong to the history of Mediterranean jewelry art. I believe in authenticity, in natural materials and in the value of manual work. For this reason I offer only pieces that embody identity, culture and passion, pure expressions of Italian excellence. Each object is not just a piece of jewelry, but a fragment of tradition that continues to live on through time.
