Description from the seller
COLLANA ARTIGIANALE “TESSITO” IN LAPISLAZZULI SELEZIONATO
ARGENTO 925 – 47,16 G – CIRCA 48 CM – REALIZZATA A TORRE DEL GRECO
Contemporary necklace in natural selected lapis lazuli, fully woven, assembled and finished by Perna Laboratorio Orafo in Torre del Greco, Naples, Italy.
THE “WEAVE” WORKING
The necklace is composed of a large number of small, polished lapis lazuli spheres, with a diameter approximately between 3 and 3.5 mm.
The spheres have been threaded and manually interwoven through the traditional “weaving” technique. Unlike a normal multi-strand necklace, this method involves the intersection and progressive construction of the threads until a compact, flexible, continuous, three-dimensional structure is obtained, resembling a fabric made from stone.
The workmanship requires precision, patience and many hours of manual labor, mainly due to the small size of the spheres and the high number of elements that make up the necklace.
The “weave” belongs to the artisan tradition preserved in Torre del Greco, a city historically linked to coral processing, decorative stones and the creation of jewelry using complex threading techniques.
This necklace is not an industrial or mass-produced product: each section has been composed, checked and finished by hand.
THE LAPIS LAZULI
The lapis lazuli has been selected in the laboratory for the intensity of the blue shade, overall color harmony and uniformity of the small spheres.
The commercial designation “Top Quality” expresses the seller’s professional evaluation based on visual quality and material selection; it does not represent a classification issued by an independent gemological laboratory.
As with any natural stone material, there may be slight differences in shade, veining, matrix areas, calcite inclusions or small pyrite flashes. Such natural characteristics, when visible, should not be considered defects.
No geographic origin of the stone is declared in the absence of a gemological certificate determining it. The necklace is not accompanied by an independent gemological report and, in the absence of laboratory analysis, no definitive statement about possible treatments of the material is made.
SILVER CLASP 925
The necklace is completed with a refined ornamental perforated ball clasp, made of 925 silver.
The particular perforated design makes the clasp not only a functional element but also a decorative part that harmoniously integrates into the jewel’s structure.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
• Type: necklace
• Main material: natural lapis lazuli
• Stone shape: small polished spheres
• Sphere diameter: about 3–3.5 mm
• Technique: traditional hand weaving
• Clasp: perforated ball in 925 silver
• Exact total weight: 47.16 g
• Overall length: about 48 cm, including the clasp
• Production: fully artisanal
• Made by: Perna Laboratorio Orafo
• Place of production: Torre del Greco, Naples, Italy
• Era: contemporary, post-2000
• Condition: new artisanal creation, never worn

The weight of 47.16 g refers to the complete jewel and includes lapis lazuli, internal threads, clasp and every other component of assembly. The weight of just the lapis lazuli and that of the clasp alone have not been determined separately.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The dimensions of the spheres and the length have been measured as accurately as possible. Very small tolerances may be possible due to the small size of the elements and the natural flexibility of the weaving construction.
Slight differences in alignment, tension, spacing or diameter are consistent with authentically manual workmanship and distinguish the jewel from standardized industrial production.
The photographs show the exact necklace offered in the auction and form an integral part of the description. Macro photographs may render inclusions, mineral variations and details of workmanship more evident than by naked-eye observation.
The actual color of the lapis lazuli may appear slightly different depending on lighting, photographic exposure, monitor calibration and the device used.
The necklace will be delivered with:
• elegant gift box;
• artisanal creation certificate and materials declaration issued by Perna Laboratorio Orafo;
• reinforced external packaging and careful protection.
SHIPPING
Free shipping for the buyer via traceable and insured express courier.
The jewel will be carefully protected, placed in its own box and placed inside an anonymous and sturdy outer packaging. The tracking code will be communicated through the Catawiki system.
Any customs duties, import VAT, clearance fees or other charges applied by the destination country remain the responsibility of the buyer, in accordance with local regulations.
