Description from the seller

Venetian Necklace with Carved Carnelian Cameo in Hand-Engraved Shell – 925 Rhodium-Plated Silver, Handcrafted Jewelry from Torre del Greco

A timeless piece of jewelry that embodies the entire tradition of Italian engraving 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-engraved by the master artisans of Torre del Greco, renowned worldwide for their skill in cameo carving.
The scene depicts a delicate female profile, a symbol of grace, beauty and timeless refined elegance.

Product features
Material of cameo: natural Cassis Rufa shell
Engraving: entirely handmade
Setting: 925 silver, rhodium-plated
Chain: Venetian style
Necklace length: 45 cm
Pendant dimensions: approximately 3.5 x 2.5 cm
Total weight: approximately 7 grams
A piece of jewelry that tells a story

Each cameo is unique: the natural shades of the shell and the manual engraving 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
- lovers of vintage and craftsmanship

It easily complements both modern looks and more traditional styles, becoming a discreet yet highly personality-filled focal point.

Fast, tracked and insured shipping with SDA or UPS courier.

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

If bidding on multiple lots, it is advisable to select combined shipping at checkout. If payments are made separately, the lots will be shipped individually and shipping costs cannot be refunded.

Important note

Conclusion

An elegant, authentic and timeless piece, perfect for those seeking something unique, handmade and meaningful.
A cameo that does not 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.
