Sterling Silver 925 - Necklace with pendant - Italian Craftsmanship

Rolo Necklace with Hand-Engraved Owl Cameo – Rhodium-Plated 925 Silver A refined handcrafted necklace featuring a striking sardonyx cameo depicting an owl, finely hand-engraved according to the tradition of the master engravers of Torre del Greco, renowned worldwide for cameo art. The subject is particularly rich in detail: the owl is depicted facing forward, with wings folded and the plumage carefully sculpted. The natural contrast between the white relief of the shell and the warm brown background highlights the engraving and lends depth to the figure. The setting, made in **Rhodiated 925 Silver**, follows the irregular profile of the cameo with a modern and slightly organic design. The bail is embellished with **white zircons**, adding an elegant point of light without stealing attention from the engraving. Completing the jewel is a **45 cm rhodium-plated 925 silver Rolò chain**, a choice that gives the necklace a luminous and refined appearance. ### CARATTERISTICHE * Typology: necklace with cameo pendant * Subject: **Owl** * Cameo: natural sardonyx shell * Cameo workmanship: **hand-engraved** * Setting: **Rhodium-plated 925 Silver** * Bail: decorated with white zircons * Chain: **Rolò** * Necklace length: approximately **45 cm** * Pendant dimensions: approximately **3.5 × 2.5 cm, including the bail** * Total weight: approximately **7 grams** * Craftsmanship: Italian artisan * Origin: **Torre del Greco, Italy** * Condition: new ### THE MEANING OF THE OWL The owl is traditionally associated with **wisdom, knowledge, intuition, and the ability to see beyond what appears on the surface**.
