    Drop pendant

    The artefact

    This prized pendant in silver, gold and coral is entirely realised in thin filigree thread with experimental technique that reinterprets the local goldsmith tradition, particularly inspired by the buttons of the traditional costume for women in the decorative composition and in the central bezel. Handmade in all its fine details, it comes in various sizes and with stylistic variations.
