Description from the seller

**Handmade Sardonyx Cameo Drop Earrings in Rhodium-Plated 925 Silver**

Elegant dangling earrings crafted in **Torre del Greco**, a city world-renowned as the capital of cameo carving and Mediterranean Red Coral. A jewel that expresses the tradition and excellence of Italian craftsmanship, entirely handmade by master engravers.

Each earring is embellished with a refined **hand-engraved 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 tones of the sardonyx shell.

The setting in **925 Rhodium-plated Silver** enhances the cameo with a modern, refined style, while the two-piece dangling design provides movement and lightness, making these earrings ideal for elegant occasions as well as daily wear.

Each cameo is unique and unrepeatable: the natural veining of the shell and the entirely manual work make each jewel different from any other.

**Features**

• Hand-cut Sardonyx cameo entirely hand-engraved

• Motif: Stylized sunflower

• Cameo material: Madagascar-origin shell *Madagascariensis*

• Setting: Rhodium-plated 925 silver

• Closure: Ear wire

• Dimensions: 6 × 2.5 cm

• Weight: approximately 16 grams

• Handcrafted in Torre del Greco (Italy)

**The Meaning of the Cameo**

The sunflower is a symbol of light, positive energy, vitality and prosperity. It has always represented optimism and inner strength, making these earrings a piece rich in meaning as well as great elegance.

**Torre del Greco Craftsmanship**

Each cameo is entirely hand-engraved according to the ancient artisanal tradition of Torre del Greco, where this technique has been passed down through generations. No cameo is identical to another: every engraving is the result of the artisan’s skill and the natural characteristics of the shell, making every creation a true authentic Made in Italy piece.

**Packaging and Shipping**

The earrings will be delivered in an elegant gift box, carefully packed to ensure maximum protection during transport.

Fast, tracked, and insured shipping via SDA or UPS.

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.
