Anna e Alex cameos are esteemed artistic jewels handmade by the craftsmen of the eminent Torre del Greco tradition, rare master interpreters of the ancient cameo art. Interested in the creative blend of design and tradition, the artists re-interpreted this antique technique in an original way, preserving the purity and natural elegance of the style. This hand-carved cameo is made according to the ancient process of Sardonyx shell carving, which employs a two-layered surface of different colors to allow the carved numeral to emerge from the bottom in positive relief. A time-honored yet totally unique way to honor lucky number Seven, symbolic of balance and fortune. Seven is the number that has always held connotations of magic and mystery. The astrological properties attributed to the number seven go back to the Babylonians who acknowledged seven planets and divided the lunar month into seven day cycles. In many cases the number seven indicated fortune and psycho-physical equilibrium. There are seven chakra, seven Christian virtues, seven colors of the rainbow, and seven musical notes. Sterling silver adjustable closing on slip-knot cord, adorned with two pearls. Water resistant. One size fits most. Cameo measures 0.7” in diameter.
