Woman's Face Pendant in Sciacca Coral and 18kt Gold

A piece of rare beauty

This woman’s face pendant in coral is a unique piece, born from the Sicilian goldsmith tradition. The coral used comes from the Mediterranean, fished in the waters of Sciacca, and belongs to the species Corallium rubrum. Its red hue and natural lustre are enhanced by the skilful carving of a female face, giving the piece an ancient and mysterious soul.

The setting in 18kt gold (750) surrounds the coral with elegance, creating a warm and refined contrast. Every detail is handcrafted, without the use of machines, following techniques passed down through generations. The weight of 11.8 grams makes it a substantial pendant, yet perfectly balanced for daily wear or special occasions.
