Couture Scorpio Italian 2002 Rare Kinetic Sterling Convertible Bracelet Pendant
About the Item
Italian-Riviera goldsmith Ugo Cacciatori, while he worked from his coastal studio on the Cinque Terra, designed this signed one-of-a-kind kinetic zodiac scorpion sterling-silver pendant in 2002. During the early 2000s, he was creating runway pieces for Italian and Parisian couture houses and jewelry lines for high-end international fashion meccas like Manhattan's Bergdorf Goodman. If you read international fashion media, you have probably seen works by him as famous photographers have documented his newest creations for decades.
Given its complex construction, the multi-jointed pendant can be attached for a necklace or unusual bracelet. Each of the scorpion's claws has a silver ring for either looping a slim chain or attaching your own silk or leather cords.
When hanging over the top of the hand, the back of the scorpion curves into a convex shape with the tail further conforming to the knuckles. which gives the impression that the creature has just crawled out from between two fingers.
Otherwise when worn as a necklace, the pendant lays flat on the chest, while the scorpion tail remains kinetic in its ability to slide side-to-side or curl outwards when handled.
From Carrara, Cacciatori belongs to an Italian dynasty of marble-quarry owners and artists, which is evident in his reverence for organic materials and sculptural forms. Very few of his pendant designs are kinetic, so this one is rare beyond its unique irreproducible craftsmanship.
