Description from the seller
Collana with Sardonic Cameo Angelo Alato Incised by Hand – Sterling Silver 925 Rhodium Plated – Torre del Greco Craftsmanship
Refined handmade jewelry featuring a splendid natural sardonica shell cameo, entirely hand-carved, depicting a sweet little angel with outstretched wings, a symbol of protection, love and serenity.
A romantic piece rich in meaning, merging Torre del Greco’s ancient engraving tradition with an elegant and contemporary design.
### THE CAMEO AND ITS REFINED ENGRAVING
The star of the necklace is a magnificent cameo shaped to depict a tender winged angel, carved in relief with extraordinary attention to detail.
The angel features a childlike face with a sweet, contemplative expression, large expressive eyes, soft cheeks and delicately formed lips.
The hair is characterized by softly incised fine curls, which give volume and depth to the figure.
On either side of the face, two splendid feathered wings unfold, carefully worked to highlight every single feather and create a refined three-dimensional effect.
The ivory white of the engraving stands out against the natural brown hues of the sardonica shell, highlighting the precision of the artisanal workmanship.
### 925 RHODIUM-PLATED SILVER MOUNTING
The cameo is enhanced by a distinctive artistic wire frame in rhodium-plated 925 silver, featuring elegant curved lines that gently embrace the angelic figure.
The open and sinuous structure follows the natural shape of the cameo, letting the face and wings stand out without weighing down the composition.
The pendant is completed by a rhodium-plated 925 silver top ring and a refined chain with small decorative spherical elements, which adds brightness and lightness to the jewel.

### SYMBOLIC MEANING OF THE ANGEL
