The story of a timeless ring :

The art of filigree has been used by Etruscans as early as the 9th Century BC and is now one of the many treasures of the Mediterranean cultural heritage. Similar to metal embroidery, its ornaments are composed of gold threads skilfully intertwined.  

This pendant is inspired by the traditional Sardinian cufflink " sa buttonera ". From one village to another, the shape, size and motifs of the traditional cufflink varied, but it retained the original meaning of the mother's breast. Giving this jewel as a gift was a sign of good luck and fertility.
