    Sole di Dorgali (Dorgali Sun) pendant

    The artefact

    This refined brooch characterised by the light filigree crafted entirely by hand and combined with the shiny polished gold plate is taken from an ancient jewel called Sun of Dorgali (Sole di Dorgali), a town in the province of Nuoro with a remarkable goldsmith tradition. It is part of the wide-ranging production of traditional handcrafted filigree jewellery, a hallmark of this goldsmith workshop.
