Eleonora Black Agate

Eleonora Black Agate Pendant

The cameo, a miniature sculpture.

Silvia Kelly’s Eleonora Pendant transcends the concept of jewelry to become a wearable sculptural portrait. At the heart of this creation is a splendid slab of black agate, a variety of microcrystalline quartz prized since ancient times for its firmness and deep, velvety color. On this dark base, our master engravers have created a refined, embossed female face, leveraging the hardness of black agate to achieve meticulous detail and soft lines. The choice of this stone is no coincidence: black agate has always been considered a gem of protection and introspection, capable of bestowing elegance and strength on anyone who chooses it as their daily amulet.

The contrast between the pure black of the agate and the luminosity of the embossed face and the precious metals is the beating heart of this jewel. The Eleonora Pendant’s setting is a masterful example of aesthetic engineering: a refined blend of 18kt rose gold and white gold, where the warmth of the pink softens the stone’s profile while the white acts as a spotlight for the select diamonds. The diamonds, set with pinpoint precision along the frame, create a crown of light that enhances the features engraved on the woman’s face. Every step, from selecting the purest piece of black agate to the final polishing of the gold, is performed by hand in our workshop, guaranteeing the quality of true “Handmade in Italy.”

Choosing a black agate piece from the Silvia Kelly collection means trusting a goldsmith’s expertise dating back to 1970. At our jewelry store in Lecco, each pendant is treated as a unique piece, far removed from the dynamics of industrial production. Being an artisanal goldsmith in the Lecco area allows us to take care of every detail, ensuring that the rose and white gold setting is not only beautiful, but also safe and durable.

We invite you to our atelier on Lake Como to discover the unique texture of engraved black agate and be captivated by a jewel that is both a tribute to feminine beauty and a masterpiece of Italian goldsmithing technique.
