Description from the seller

Venetian Cameo Necklace in Snail Horn Coral Shell, Hand Carved – Silver 925 Rhodium Plated, Handmade Jewelry from Torre del Greco

A timeless piece that embodies the whole tradition of Italian intaglio art: this Venetian necklace with cameo pendant is a true expression of classic elegance and exceptional artisanal craftsmanship.

The cameo, made from Cassis Rufa shell (corniola), is finely hand-carved by the master artisans of Torre del Greco, renowned worldwide for their skill in cameo work. The scene depicts a delicate female profile, a symbol of grace, beauty and timeless refinement.

Product features
Cameo material: Natural Cassis Rufa shell
Carving: Entirely hand-made
Setting: Rhodium-plated 925 silver
Chain: Venetian model
Necklace length: 45 cm
Pendant dimensions: approximately 3.5 x 2.5 cm
Total weight: approximately 7 grams
A jewel that tells a story

Each cameo is unique: the natural shading of the shell and the manual carving make every piece unrepeatable, far from any industrial production.

Wearing it means carrying with you a fragment of history, art, and Italian tradition.

Style and versatility

Perfect for:

- elegant occasions
- classic and refined outfits
- vintage and handcrafted enthusiasts

It pairs easily with both modern looks and more traditional styles, becoming a discreet yet highly personal focal point.

Please check the shipment tracking. If the recipient is absent, the package may be left at a pickup point; if not collected, it will be returned to the sender.

Important note

Conclusion
An elegant, authentic, and timeless piece, perfect for those seeking something unique, artisanal, and meaningful. A cameo that doesn’t follow trends… but surpasses them.

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.
