Collana with Sardonic Angel Cameo – Hand-Engraved in 925 Rhodiumed Silver and Cz – Torre del Greco Craftsmanship Refined and exclusive handcrafted necklace enriched by a splendid natural sardonica shell cameo, entirely hand-engraved, depicting a very sweet angelic face with a serene expression, framed by soft curls and finely carved delicate wings. A jewel with romantic, timeless charm that celebrates purity, sweetness, and the excellence of the ancient engraving art of Torre del Greco. ### THE CAMEO AND ITS RAFFINATED ENGRAVING The centerpiece of the necklace is a magnificent cameo shaped in sardonica shell, characterized by a gentle angel face sculpted in relief, inspired by angelic depictions from classical and Renaissance art. The angel presents a delicately inclined face, eyes softly closed, and an expression of deep serenity. The soft cheeks, finely modeled lips, and harmonious features convey a sense of innocence, peace, and sweetness. Particularly refined is the hairstyle, composed of soft waves and voluminous curls that frame the face, crafted with great precision through manual engraving. At the bottom, two elegant wings spread, characterized by feathers meticulously carved in relief, completing the angelic composition, giving movement, depth, and a special three-dimensional effect. The ivory white of the engraving stands out against the natural brown tones of the sardonica shell, highlighting every detail of the workmanship. A small work of art that embodies all the beauty and tradition of the Italian cameo. ### 925 RHODIUM-PLATED SILVER SETTING AND CZS The cameo is enhanced by a refined 925 rhodium-plated silver setting, featuring a bright silvery finish. The bezel gently follows the irregular profile of the cameo, with an elegant faceted edge that enhances its shapes and three-dimensionality. The upper bail is adorned with sparkling white Cz jewelry stones, adding a refined point of light. The necklace is completed by a delicate rhodium-plated 925 silver twisted chain, elegant and radiant. ### FEATURES - Type: women's necklace with handcrafted cameo - Cameo: natural sardonica shell - Subject: angelic face with closed eyes, curls and spread wings - Engraving: entirely handmade - Craft: Italian craftsmanship, Torre del Greco - Setting: Rhodium-plated 925 silver - Finish: polished silver - Design: shaped bezel with a faceted edge - Decorative stones: sparkling white Cz - Clasp: adorned with white Cz - Chain: twisted model - Necklace length: approximately 45 cm - Pendant dimensions: approximately 35 × 25 mm, including bail - Total weight: approximately 8 g - Cameo color: ivory white on natural brown background - Condition: new, never worn - Made in Italy ### SYMBOLIC MEANING OF THE ANGEL The angel is traditionally considered a powerful symbol of protection, purity, spiritual love, hope, and serenity.
