TITLE Hand-Woven “Tessita” Lapis Lazuli Bracelet in Gold-Plated 925 Sterling Silver – 19 cm DESCRIPTION An elegant artisan bracelet composed of small polished lapis lazuli beads, individually threaded and meticulously hand-woven into a dense, multi-row structure. The bracelet is crafted using the distinctive traditional technique known as “tessita”: a highly specialised and time-intensive process requiring precision, patience and considerable manual skill. The closely interwoven construction creates a compact, supple and beautifully three-dimensional bracelet rather than a conventional arrangement of separate strands. This is a new artisan creation made by Perna Laboratorio Orafo in Torre del Greco, Naples, Italy—a city internationally recognised for its longstanding jewellery-making tradition. The bracelet is individually handcrafted and is not an industrially or mass-produced item. The lapis lazuli displays an attractive range of deep blue and ultramarine tones, enriched by subtle natural variations and minute mineral characteristics. These individual features give every bead its own identity and enhance the authentic, handcrafted character of the jewel. The smooth terminal caps, connecting elements and refined openwork spherical clasp are made of gold-plated 925 sterling silver. The “925” fineness mark is present and clearly visible in the photographs.

All images form an integral part of the description and should be examined carefully before bidding. The subtle differences in colour, surface appearance and mineral pattern between the beads are inherent characteristics of lapis lazuli and should not be regarded as defects. The slight irregularities in spacing and alignment are consistent with the bracelet’s entirely handmade construction and distinguish it from an industrially produced jewel. Macro photographs are provided to show the workmanship, clasp and individual beads in detail. Magnification may make certain natural characteristics appear more noticeable than they are when viewed with the naked eye. Colours may vary slightly depending on lighting conditions, screen settings and the device used to view the photographs. All measurements are approximate. The stated weight refers to the complete bracelet, including the lapis lazuli beads, structural thread, terminal caps, connecting elements and clasp. The warm-gold components are made of gold-plated 925 sterling silver and must not be interpreted as solid gold.
