About the Item

Everyone could use a little extra good luck, especially when it comes in such a lovely form as a charm necklace. This Adamas Cornicello Diamond Onyx Necklace features 7 cornicelli (singular, cornicello or corno portafortuna), or Italian horns, in various sizes and elegant treatments. The cornicello is an Italian amulet or talisman worn to protect against the evil eye, or malocchio, and bad luck in general. This 18” long (45.72 cm) 18K white gold chain-based charm necklace, made in Italy in the 21st century, 2020, suspends 6 graduated cornicelli in black onyx, topped simply with white gold loops, and culminates in one glittering pavé diamond-encrusted cornicello. Like most designs from this Italian fine jewelry house, founded in 1960 in Milan, the piece is sculptural yet delicate, minimalist yet luxurious. The onyx looks supple like carved stone, which is a testament to their skilled artisanship. Although more steeped in Italian tradition than many of their pieces, the treatment of this amulet is modern and streamlined, and as such universally appealing and wearable. The retail price of this necklace was originally $3,007. Measures approx. 18" in length. Diamond weight approx. 0.07 carats. Overall weight approx. 5.95 grams; 18k white gold. Made in Italy and signed Adamas; circa 2020. Retail price $3,007.

Ambrosi Contemporary Gemstone Demi-Parure Suite
By Ambrosi
Located in New York, NY
Behold the exquisite Ambrosi Contemporary Gemstone Demi-Parure Suite, a testament to Italian artistry and sophistication, meticulously created in Italy during the contemporary era, circa the 21st century. This suite is a harmonious fusion of two captivating components: a double-strand riviere necklace and a pair of matching drop earrings, all meticulously crafted in 18kt white gold. At the heart of this demi-parure suite lies a concise yet profoundly elegant design, featuring two repeating motifs that dance in lyrical harmony. The necklace showcases a mesmerizing interplay of 28 hand-carved turquoise fans and 28 oval cabochon emeralds, gracefully arranged across two adjoined concentric strands. Each motif is meticulously encircled with a delicate halo of pavé diamonds, boasting an impressive total weight of approximately 7.18 carats. The turquoise fans and emerald ovals, occasionally joined and articulated, offer a unique fluidity to the design, allowing light to play across the gemstones in the most captivating manner. The accompanying drop earrings, measuring 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) in length, mirror this configuration with two distinctive variations. A third mirror image fan below the central motif adds a symmetrical touch, while the widthwise oval is gracefully rotated 90 degrees, elongating the silhouette for a striking effect. These earrings are designed as clip-back, with the option to be converted to post earrings for pierced ears, offering both convenience and elegance. Ambrosi, a venerable Italian jewelry...
