Gaia Aquamarine (3E)

Gaia Aquamarine Pendant

Gaia comes from the Greek term géos whose meaning is ‘breathing land’.

Silvia Kelly’s Gaia Pendant is an ode to clarity and light. The star of this creation is a splendid aquamarine, selected for its pastel blue hue, reminiscent of the reflections of the most pristine waters. The stone’s teardrop cut is not merely an aesthetic choice, but a gemological strategy to enhance the gem’s natural brilliance: the facets are calibrated to capture every ray of sunlight, transforming the aquamarine into a vibrant and refreshing point of light. Historically associated with travelers and protection, this precious stone instills a sense of calm and modern elegance in its wearer, making it the ideal piece of jewelry to illuminate the face with discretion and class.

What makes the Gaia model unique is the architecture of the two-tone 18kt gold setting. The aquamarine is enshrined within a sculptural “nest” design, where the white gold acts as a luminous frame, almost disappearing to make way for the stone’s transparency, while subtle touches of rose gold add a note of contemporary warmth. This structure, entirely handcrafted in our Lecco goldsmith’s workshop, was designed to be “open”: light can pass through the aquamarine not only from the front but also from the sides and back, multiplying the gem’s internal reflections. It is an example of how Italian goldsmith engineering can put itself at the service of nature.

Creating an aquamarine pendant of this quality requires a skill that only fifty years of history can guarantee. At our jewelry store on Lake Como, we have been carrying on an all-female goldsmith tradition since 1970, where attention to detail is a top priority. Each aquamarine is set with pinpoint precision to ensure its stability without ever obscuring its natural beauty.

We invite you to our atelier in Lecco to admire the Gaia pendant in person and discover how our passionate craftsmanship transforms a water crystal into an eternal jewel, a symbol of authentic Made in Italy.
