Description from the seller
**Handcrafted Sardonyx Cameo Floral Dangling Earrings – 925 Silver Plated in Gold**
Elegant dangling earrings made in **Torre del Greco**, a city world-renowned as the capital of cameo carving and the Red Mediterranean Coral. A jewel that expresses the tradition and excellence of Italian craftsmanship, entirely handmade by master engravers.
Each earring is adorned with a refined **hand-cut 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 hues of the sardonyx shell.
The mount is in **925 silver plated with yellow gold**, enhancing the cameo with a modern and refined style, while the double-element hanging design provides movement and lightness, making these earrings ideal for both elegant occasions and daily wear.
Each cameo is unique and unrepeatable: the natural veining of the shell and the entirely manual workmanship make every piece different from any other.
**Features**
• Hand-carved sardonyx cameo entirely by hand
• Motif: stylized sunflower
• Cameo material: Madagascar shell *Madagascariensis*
• Mounting: Gold-plated 925 silver
• Closure: French hook/Ear wire
• Dimensions: 7 × 3 cm
• Weight: approximately 21 grams
• Handcrafted in Torre del Greco (Italy)
**The Meaning of the Cameo**
The sunflower is a symbol of light, positive energy, vitality and prosperity. Always representing optimism and inner strength, making these earrings a piece rich in meaning as well as great elegance.
**The Craftsmanship of Torre del Greco**
Each cameo is entirely hand-engraved according to the ancient artisanal tradition of Torre del Greco, where this craft is handed down through generations. No cameo is identical to another: every engraving reflects the artisan’s skill and the natural characteristics of the shell, making each creation a truly unique Made in Italy piece.

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.
