    A Palia earrings

    The artefact

    The a Palia earrings, characteristic of the goldsmith tradition of the Campidano area, are reproduced with exquisite technical precision in shape and style. Entirely handcrafted in gold plated filigree (granulated work) with small beads, garnets and semi-precious stones, these earrings represent the sophisticated and fine production of the filigree artisan who preserves and enhances an ancient local craft.
