Description from the seller

Collar with Large Hand-Engraved Sardonyx Shell Cameo – 925 Sterling Silver Rhodium-Plated and White Zircons

Elegant Italian handmade necklace enriched by a significant cameo in sardonyx shell, entirely hand-engraved by the master artisans of Torre del Greco, a city famous worldwide for the centuries-old tradition of coral and cameo processing.

The centerpiece is a refined raised daisy, carved with great care: the white petals emerge with strong contrast against the natural brown background of the shell, creating a particularly elegant three-dimensional effect.

The cameo is enclosed in a bright circular rhodium-plated sterling silver setting, entirely bordered by white zircons. The bail is also embellished with zircons, adding extra brilliance and highlighting the pendant’s substantial character.

The jewel is completed by a coordinating chain of about 45 cm. A piece with great visual impact, capable of uniting the tradition of Italian cameos with an elegant and contemporary design.

CHARACTERISTICS

• Type: necklace with cameo pendant
• Material: rhodium-plated 925 silver
• Cameo: natural sardonyx shell
• Subject: large floral daisy
• Engraving: entirely handmade
• Decoration: frame and bail with white zircons
• Cameo size: about 2.5 x 2.5 cm
• Overall pendant size: about 3.5 × 3 cm including the loop
• Necklace length: about 45 cm
• Total weight: about 10 grams
• Craftsmanship: Italian artisanry – Torre del Greco

The manual workmanship makes each cameo unique: small details and slight variations are natural characteristics of artisanal engraving and attest to its authenticity.

PACKAGING AND SHIPPING

The jewel will be delivered in an elegant gift box, accompanied by an authenticity certificate.

Fast, tracked, and insured shipping via SDA or UPS courier. If several lots are won, it is advised to select combined shipping before payment.

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.
