Berenice Pearl

Berenice Pearl Ring

According to an ancient legend, pearls were a gift from the god Gold, king of the firmament. Traveling along the rainbow that unites heaven and earth, a few drops of color fell from the arch. In the fall, every single drop and every single color mixed with the moonlight. The iridescent unions of lights and colors gently rolled to the sea, giving life to the pearls.

The Allure of the Baroque Pearl: The Beauty of Imperfection

In the world of jewelry, the baroque pearl represents the choice of those who seek to stand out through authenticity. Unlike spherical gems, each pearl of this type has its own unique and irreplaceable shape, which tells the story of the material’s journey within the shell. In Silvia Kelly’s Berenice Ring, this distinctiveness becomes the beating heart of the design: 18kt gold embraces the gem’s irregular contours, enhancing its oriental and iridescent reflections. Wearing a baroque pearl means wearing a small natural sculpture on your finger, a jewel that speaks of character and a refinement that doesn’t require symmetry to shine.

LC1: The Tradition of the First Goldsmith’s Workshop in Lecco

Each Berenice Ring is steeped in the history of our region. Our atelier is proud to hold the LC1 hallmark, the identifying mark assigned to the first workshop established in the province of Lecco. This technical detail guarantees artisanal jewelry production that has never yielded to serial production. Today, the founder’s daughters lead the workshop with a modern vision, preserving the quality of handmade jewelry. Choosing Silvia Kelly means trusting a long-standing expertise that transforms Italian gold and the most precious pearls into a piece of fine artisanal jewelry with eternal value.

Design and Coordinates: Handmade Jewelry on Lake Como

The Berenice line is designed for those seeking a profound connection with the elements of nature. To complete this sculptural style, we suggest pairing it with the Polissena Pendant with Baroque Pearl, which embodies the same aesthetic philosophy and material strength. This ideal set draws inspiration from Lake Como, where the reflections of the water and the shapes of the Larian rocks blend into the design of our handcrafted jewelry. The care taken in shaping the gold around each pearl ensures that the pendant and ring complement each other perfectly, while remaining two absolutely unique pieces, entirely handmade.

An Experience of Craftsmanship and Local Origins: Lecco and Valsassina

We invite our customers to discover the creative process behind the LC1 hallmark by visiting our artisanal workshop. Seeing how a raw pearl is interpreted and set allows one to appreciate the true value of artisanal jewelry. A visit to Lecco also offers the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the lake or a trip to Valsassina, where the tradition of local cheeses illustrates another aspect of our region’s artisanal excellence. We believe our handcrafted Italian jewelry is inextricably linked to these landscapes, offering those who wear it not just a luxury item, but a piece of Lecco culture and tradition.

Professional Personalization: Your Pearl, Our Design

Being a true family-run artisan workshop gives us the freedom to create bespoke pieces. In addition to the Berenice collection, we specialize in designing and creating custom jewelry using the client’s own stones or pearls. If you have a family pearl or a baroque gemstone that you’d like to see showcased in a modern Italian gold setting, our female team will transform it into a contemporary creation. This is the mission of those who sign our gold jewelry made in Italy with the LC1 hallmark: to combine your personal story with our centuries-old craftsmanship in handmade jewelry.
