Tartaruga White Agate

Tartaruga White Agate Bracelet

In Aesopus’ fable, the turtle wins the hare race because the hare takes it easy, convinced that it is the fastest. Actually turtles are not as slow as you think.

Silvia Kelly’s “Tartaruga” bracelet is a masterpiece of three-dimensional design, where goldsmith skill meets the gem’s lunar allure in a unique interplay of layers. The beating heart of this creation is the extraordinary craftsmanship of the shell: a refined gold structure that faithfully reproduces the turtle’s natural pattern, placed with extreme precision atop a white agate base. This technique allows the stone to release its milky light through the gold perforations, creating an effect of depth and contrast that makes the piece lively and vibrant.
Choosing white agate as the backdrop for this symbol of wisdom gives the bracelet a soft radiance and purity that only genuine gemstones can offer.

Unlike classic chains, this model boasts a semi-rigid structure that envelops the wrist with sculptural elegance. The choice of a semi-rigid setting is not only aesthetic, but also functional: it allows the central plaque, where gold meets white agate, to remain perfectly in place, ensuring a constant visual impact.
Entirely handmade in Italy, every detail of the turtle is meticulously crafted, highlighting the contrast between the polished surfaces of the precious metal and the velvety texture of the underlying white agate.
It is a sublime example of how Made in Italy craftsmanship can reinterpret ancient symbols through modern and sophisticated technical solutions.

Wearing the Tartaruga bracelet with white agate means carrying a piece of art that speaks of protection and longevity. The color combination of gold (available in warm shades of pink and white) and the purity of white agate makes this bracelet versatile and timeless, perfect for the woman seeking a statement piece that never goes unnoticed. Every time light strikes the openwork, the white agate responds with soft reflections, paying homage to the beauty of nature and the craftsmanship of the man who set it.

With the Tartaruga Collection, Silvia Kelly transforms white agate into the luminous secret guarded by the shell of a golden tortoise, for a luxury that combines poetry and technical precision.
