Sterling Silver 925 - Necklace with pendant - hand-carved cameo

Cameeled Moon and Star Hand-Engraved Necklace in Sterling Silver 925 Rhodium Plated and White Zirconia Refined handcrafted necklace for women made of rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver, enriched by an elegant hand-engraved sardonyx cameo depicting the Moon and a Star, symbols of charm, mystery and harmony. The cameo, crafted according to the ancient artisan tradition of Torre del Greco, features a delicate crescent moon with a female face sculpted in relief, accompanied by a bright four-point star. The contrast between the natural brown-toned background and the clear engravings highlights every detail of the composition, creating a refined three-dimensional effect. The cameo is enclosed in an oval mounting in rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver, characterized by a decorative frame with small relief work that enhances the jewel’s profile. The top of the pendant is adorned with an elegant bail decorated with sparkling white zircons, which add brightness and refinement. The slender Venetian-link chain in rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver, about 45 cm long, completes the piece with elegance, letting the cameo take center stage. ### FEATURES - **Type:** Women’s necklace with hand-engraved cameo - **Material:** Rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver - **Cameo:** Sardonyx, natural, hand-engraved - **Subject:** Crescent Moon with female face and Star - **Setting:** Oval in rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver with decorative frame - **Gemstones:** White zircons on the top of the pendant - **Chain:** Venetian-link in rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver - **Necklace length:** Approximately 45 cm - **Pendant dimensions:** Approximately 1.5 × 1.5 cm - **Total weight:** Approximately 3 grams - **Clasp:** Lobster - **Craftsmanship:** Hand-engraved, Torre del Greco - **Condition:** New ### MEANING OF THE MOON AND STAR The Moon and Star are symbols rich in charm and meaning, present for centuries in art and jewelry tradition.
