Sa Corniola ring
The artefact
Typical of the local goldsmith tradition, god-sons received the corniola (carnelian) ring when they were christened, as a present that, in the future, they would give to their fiancée. Exquisitely handcrafted in gold on engraved plate with a central bezel, it can be customised in decorative details and hard stone.
