Elevate your collection with the striking Fresia Necklace, an exceptional piece of wearable art designed by the visionary Elena Salmistraro for the world-renowned Italian design house Alessi. This exclusive necklace is part of the highly celebrated Venusia collection, which was honoured with the prestigious Best Design Award in Italy, highlighting its significance in contemporary fashion and design history. In conceiving this collection, Elena Salmistraro, acclaimed as Milan's Designer of the Year, creates an imaginary world where contrasting textures, colours, and geometries are beautifully enhanced by precious Italian workmanship. The Fresia design effortlessly bridges the gap between ancestral art and modern industrial manufacturing, offering a powerful aesthetic paradigm that interacts beautifully with light. The necklace features a meticulously crafted rectangular pendant made of granulated stainless steel, treated with a luxurious, high-quality gold PVD finish. This granulated texture reinterprets ancient Etruscan goldsmithing in a sophisticated, modern key. The brilliant gold surface is boldly contrasted by sleek, black concentric arcs that create a hypnotic, graphic statement. Designed with both aesthetics and comfort in mind, the necklace is entirely made of premium, nickel-free stainless steel. It features an adjustable chain with a total length of 36 centimetres, allowing it to sit perfectly on the neckline, and secures reliably with a refined snap-hook clasp.
