Description from the seller
## Adjustable Ring with Sardonyx Cameo Moon, Butterfly and Stars – Rhodiumed 925 Silver
Fine handcrafted women's ring made in **rhodium-plated 925 silver**, enriched by an important **hand-carved sardonyx cameo**, expression of the traditional engraving art of **Torre del Greco**.
The cameo presents a particularly evocative composition: a delicate **cresent moon with a feminine profile** alongside a large **raised butterfly**, completed by small **stars**. The white of the engraving stands out elegantly on the natural brown background of the sardonyx shell, highlighting every detail of the workmanship.
The mount in **925 silver rhodium-plated**, with clean and bright lines, follows the cameo's distinctive profile, letting the engraving take center stage of the jewelry. The **adjustable** design also allows the ring to be comfortably adapted to different sizes.
### CHARACTERISTICS
* Type: women's ring with cameo
* Material: **rhodium-plated 925 silver**
* Cameo: **natural sardonyx shell**
* Craft: hand-engraved
* Subject: **crescent moon, butterfly and stars**
* Cameo dimensions: approximately **30 × 25 mm**
* Ring size: **adjustable**
* Total weight: approximately **10 grams**
* Craftsmanship: Italian artisanal
* tradition: **Torre del Greco, Italy**
* Conditions: new
### MEANING
The composition unites three symbols with strong meaning. The **crescent moon** evokes intuition, renewal and new beginnings; the **butterfly** is traditionally associated with transformation and rebirth, while the **stars** evoke light and guidance.
The result is a jewelry piece with a romantic and refined character, ideal for those who love original cameos and subjects beyond the classic profiles.
### THE ART OF THE CAMEO
Manual engraving highlights the natural color stratifications of the sardonyx shell, using the contrast between the light relief and the darker background to give depth to the composition.
Because it is handmade and made from a natural material, every cameo may show slight differences in shade, veins and details, characteristics that make each piece unique.
### PACKAGING AND SHIPPING
The ring will be delivered in **elegant gift packaging**, carefully protected during transport.
Fast, **tracked and insured** shipping via SDA or UPS courier.
If bidding on multiple lots, it is advisable to select **combined shipping before payment**. If payments are made separately, the lots will be shipped individually and the related shipping costs cannot be refunded.
### IMPORTANT NOTE
In some countries, importing items made from certain shell species may be subject to restrictions. The buyer is invited to verify the current customs and import regulations in their country beforehand.
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.
