Description from the seller
Collana con Cammeo Sardonico Dea Bendata Inciso a Mano – Argento 925 Placcato Oro Giallo e Zirconi – Artigianato di Torre del Greco
Refined and exclusive handmade necklace featuring a magnificent natural sardonic cameo entirely carved by hand, depicting the Goddess of Fortune. A romantically timeless jewel that celebrates the excellence of Torre del Greco’s ancient engraving art through an elegant, detail-rich composition.
THE CAMEO AND ITS REFINED ENGRAVING
The centerpiece is a superb oval sardonic shell cameo, with a delicate feminine profile in relief. The Goddess of Fortune’s face, with harmonious, refined lines, is crowned by a graceful hairstyle of soft waves and finely modeled curls that cascade down the neck. The engraving highlights every detail of the face, lips, and hair, creating a striking three-dimensional effect. The luminous white figure stands out against the natural brown shell background, producing an alluring color contrast that enhances depth and craftsmanship.
GOLD-PLATED 925 SILVER FILIGREE SETTING
The cameo is showcased by a distinctive artistic filigree set in 925 sterling silver plated with yellow gold, featuring sinuous lines that gently follow the shell’s natural shape. The open, asymmetric structure gives the pendant an original, contemporary look, letting the engraving shine without weighing down its elegance. A small white zircon sparkles at the side detail, while the refined upper hook adorned with white zircons adds extra light to the composition. The piece is completed by an elegant 45 cm twisted rope chain in 925 silver plated with yellow gold, its interwoven links softly reflecting light. The overall effect is a perfect balance of artisanal tradition, classical elegance, and modern design.

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.
