Description from the seller

**Artisanal Sardonyx Cameo Necklace "Classical Dancer" – 925 Silver Plated in Yellow Gold**

Elegant handcrafted necklace made in Torre del Greco, the symbol city of cameo and coral work, where this ancient art has been passed down through generations by master engravers.

The pendant is adorned with a refined **sardonyx cameo engraved entirely by hand**, depicting a delicate **classical dancer** wrapped in a wind-swept dress. The composition evokes grace, lightness, and harmony of movement, making the jewel refined and full of meaning.

The setting and the Venetian chain are made of **925 silver plated in yellow gold**, an elegant finish that enhances the natural contrast of the shell tones and gives luminosity to the piece.

Each cameo is unique and unrepeatable: the natural patterns of the shell and the entirely hand-engraved carving make every specimen different from the next.

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.
