    Whale pendant

    The artefact

    The figure of the whale is reproduced with fine descriptive synthesis in this elegant pendant in gold, burnished silver, sapphires and brilliants, realised with sophisticated and experimental filigree goldsmith technique that reinterprets the local goldsmith tradition in new forms. Also produced in a version entirely in gold, it is part of the line inspired by the marine world in which this goldsmith skilfully reinterprets animals and creatures of the sea in a production of unique jewels of rare originality and beauty.
