Silver - Necklace with pendant - Italian craftsmanship

Golden-Yellow Gold-Plated 925 Silver Necklace with Large Vintage Victorian-Style Cameo – Pendant and Brooch Elegant and refined ladies' necklace featuring a large natural seashell cameo hand-carved, inspired by the romantic charm and elegance of jewelry from the Victorian era. The centerpiece is a splendid oval cameo of generous dimensions, characterized by a refined raised relief depicting a female profile with an elaborate hairstyle, adorned with curls, floral details and delicate ornaments. The female figure, sculpted in ivory-white tones of the shell, emerges gracefully from the natural brown background, creating a fascinating color contrast that enhances the depth and precision of the engraving. The hair work is particularly rich, gathered into soft curls and decorated with small flowers. The delicate face, the sculpted collar around the neck, and the floral bouquet accompanying the bust testify to the extraordinary attention to detail of Torre del Greco's engraving art. The 925 silver mount, plated in yellow gold, features a refined ornamental edge with a twisted cord motif that frames the cameo, highlighting its classic character and Victorian style. The jewelry is completed by an elegant 45 cm chain model, with a braided finish that adds brilliance and movement.
