Tartaruga Turquoise

Tartaruga Turquoise Choker

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.

The Allure of Turquoise: A Stone of Light and Protection

Silvia Kelly’s Tartaruga Choker was created to celebrate the vibrant beauty of turquoise, a gemstone that has enchanted for millennia with its hues ranging from sky blue to aqua green. Often associated with protection and serenity, the turquoise in this creation is not just a chromatic element, but the fulcrum of a design conceived to illuminate the face with timeless freshness. Each turquoise gemstone is selected for its purity and intensity, ensuring that each choker is unique, evoking the luminous atmosphere of the Italian coast and the clarity of the purest waters.

Tartaruga Design: The Excellence of the Collection and the Freedom to Customize

The strength of this piece lies in its sculptural 18kt gold setting, which envelops the stone like a precious shell. This piece is part of the renowned Tartaruga Collection, a line of handcrafted jewelry that explores the contrast between noble metal and semi-precious stones. The true soul of our fine artisanal jewelry lies in the ability to make each creation even more personal: upon request, the turquoise stone can be replaced with the elegance of white agate or the mystery of black agate. This customization option allows you to transform a classic piece into a bespoke piece, perfectly adapting it to your style and making it a truly unique piece of handmade gemstone jewelry.

Craftsmanship on Lake Como: Jewelry Handmade with Passion

Choosing Silvia Kelly means embracing the philosophy of handcrafted jewelry. Since 1970, in our atelier on Lake Como, we have been transforming Italian gold into settings that are true works of art to be worn. Crafting the Tartaruga Choker requires special skill: the stone must be set with care and precision so that the profile of the gold and the curvature of the turquoise (or agate) create a seamless surface that is pleasant to the touch. This attention to detail is what distinguishes our handcrafted Italian jewelry from industrial production, positioning us among the Italian gold jewelry brands most committed to quality craftsmanship.

The combination of select turquoise and the solidity of 18kt gold ensures a beauty that stands the test of time.
