Mafalda Black Agate

Mafalda Black Agate Choker

Portuguese origin, Mafalda means ‘strong in combat’. It entered the tradition of the Savoy House with Princess Mafalda, Vittorio Emanuele’s daughter.

The Allure of Black Agate: A Play of Volumes Between Cylinders and Spheres

Black agate is the undisputed star of the Mafalda Choker, a creation that breaks the mold of classic jewelry to embrace a modern, sculptural design. In this jewel, the semiprecious stone is not a single element, but a rhythmic succession of expertly alternating black agate cylinders and spheres. This combination of geometric shapes enhances the stone’s natural brilliance: the cylinders capture the light along their smooth surface, while the spheres reflect shimmering points, creating a visual contrast that adds depth and movement to the décolleté. Choosing black agate in this guise means opting for a bold elegance, perfect for those who love jewelry that expresses a strong personality through its material.

Mafalda Design: The Excellence of Handmade Jewelry on Lake Como

The structure of the Mafalda Choker is a masterpiece of balance. Each black agate element is interspersed with 18kt gold inserts, which act as points of light and ensure the jewel’s impeccable flexibility. Crafted entirely in our atelier on Lake Como, this piece belongs to our exclusive collection of handmade jewelry, where precision assembly is essential to maintaining the perfect alignment of the cylinders and spheres. If you wish to explore other interpretations of these ancestral stones, the choker pairs beautifully with the Fotuo Jade Pendant, for a spiritual reference, or with the Elettra Black Agate Pendant, where the same stone is crafted into different yet equally sophisticated volumes.

Italian Craftsmanship: Fine Jewelry and Artisan Production

Choosing Silvia Kelly means highlighting Italian gold jewelry brands that have preserved the value of signature craftsmanship. For over fifty years, our artisanal jewelry production in Lecco has transformed Italian gold and semiprecious stones into timeless, handcrafted jewelry designs. Crafting the Mafalda Choker requires great sensitivity in choosing proportions: the diameter of the spheres must harmonize perfectly with the length of the black agate cylinders to create a continuous line that’s comfortable to wear. This almost obsessive attention to detail is the hallmark of our Italian artisanal jewelry, unique pieces born from passion and artisanal dedication, far removed from industrial logic.

An Investment in Style: Gold Jewelry Made in Italy

In a landscape dominated by mass-produced accessories, Silvia Kelly’s Italian-made gold jewelry represents a choice of authenticity. The Mafalda Choker with black agate is not just an ornament, but a statement of style rooted in the culture of “handmade.” The combination of the hardness of the gemstone and the nobility of 18kt gold ensures a beauty that stands the test of time. If you’re wondering where to find handmade gemstone jewelry that combines the strength of geometry with goldsmith tradition, our creative workshop is the place where every dream comes true. Each creation is a tribute to the excellence of Made in Italy, positioning itself among the most admired handcrafted gold jewels for its ability to make every outfit unique.
