Ciao Bella Necklace
Limited edition, handmade by Annabelle, miniature freshwater pearls and an 18k gold plated T clasp necklace with a pearl and miniature lemon, orange or cactus adornment. This necklace is designed to wear the clasp at the front but you can also wear it reversed which looks great layered with other necklaces. It measures 40cm. PRE ORDERS can take up to 4 weeks to be delivered due to gold plating.
These gorgeous ceramics are handmade by a family business from Cantania in Sicily which the young sons have started taken over with lots of fresh, fun ideas. When I went to visit them the whole family was there, their son´s dog, their cousins and papá. Their mum ran out to get gelato for everyone, it reminded me of my similarly sweaty India days when I would drink 10 Chai Teas a day visiting craftsmen and suppliers. I love how welcome they made me feel.
This necklace is inspired the classic beautiful Italian women in silk headscarves whizzing by on a Vespa along the coastline in the 80´s. Although intense, I love how the Italians celebrate beauty through languauge. I guess that´s why I love Argentina so much, the firey combo of Italian and Spanish blood.
