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
The angel traditionally symbolizes protection, purity, love, hope and serenity.
The outstretched wings represent the benevolent presence of a guardian angel, while the sweet child-like face evokes innocence, peace and unconditional love.
Wearing a cameo depicting an angel means carrying with you a symbol of comfort and spiritual protection.
A particularly meaningful gift, ideal for wishing happiness, protection and serenity to a loved one or to keep the memory of a special bond alive.
### THE ART OF TORRE DEL GRECO CAMEOS
Each cameo is patiently hand-engraved according to the prestigious artisanal tradition of Torre del Greco, a city known worldwide for excellence in shell and coral craftsmanship.
The artisan uses the different natural layers of the sardonica shell to obtain reliefs and color contrasts that highlight every detail.
The manual workmanship and the natural characteristics of the shell make each piece unique and unrepeatable.

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.
