Description from the seller
IMPORTANT DESCRIPTION
Refined Vintage Yellow Gold 18kt and Turquoise Jewelry Set – 10.44 grams
Signature "DI CONNO" (Naples)
Set with serial number * 262 NA (the chronological serial number assigned to the DI CONNO goldsmith workshop)
The Historical Value of the Brand "DI CONNO" and the Neapolitan School
This lot represents not only a precious investment in gold and gems, but an authentic fragment of the history of Italian jewelrymaking from the era. The signature "DI CONNO" engraved inside the bezel identifies a historic dynasty of creators and wholesalers of art jewelry active in Campania in the second half of the twentieth century. It is a historic and real jewelry company based in NAPLES.
Jewel pieces signed by this prestigious firm were distinguished by exclusive distribution and a strong link to traditional techniques. The parure bears the stamp of the goldsmith ★ 262 NA, which certifies the creation of the set in the famous historic laboratories of Naples. The joint presence of the state guarantee mark and the commercial signature "DI CONNO" give the lot the status of a collectible (Vintage signed), drastically differentiating it from common anonymous commercial mounts and increasing its historical, artistic, and collecting value over time.
Up for auction is an elegant coordinated set of Italian artisanal manufacture (Naples), consisting of a ring and a pair of matching stud earrings. The parure stands out for the classic and solid design of Neapolitan jewelery tradition from the second half of the twentieth century.
Characteristics of the design:
-- The ring features at the center a splendid cabochon-cut oval turquoise gem, set in a solid bezel. The lower and lateral parts of the setting are enhanced by a very fine openwork filigree, which adds lightness and a sophisticated ornamental touch to the gold structure. The shank is smooth and elegantly splits near the shoulders of the bezel.
-- The two stud earrings reproduce the same color tone and consist of smooth turquoise spheres mounted on a yellow gold post with the classic butterfly clasp.
Notes on stones and treatments
:The gems present a magnificent coloration -
. As is usual for jewelry of this era and this type of material, the turquoise may be natural or have undergone stabilization, a standard treatment in the gemological field aimed at preserving luster, toughness, and color intensity over time.
The lot has a substantial total weight of 10.44 grams, testifying to the generous quality and the robustness of the gold used in the mounting. A timelessly charming set, ready to be worn or collected.
Macro images are an integral part of the description and show in detail the beauty of the set, its state of preservation, and the hallmarking (750 / ★ 262 NA / DI CONNO) present inside the bezel.
