Nefertiti on a sardonic cameo: a jewel born in the heart of Egypt
Nefertiti on a sardonic cameo: a jewel born in the heart of Egypt
During a trip to Sharm el-Sheikh, between the allure of the desert and the enchantment of the Red Sea, I had an inspiration I'll never forget. Visiting a small local market, I came across an ancient profile carved on a wall: it was Nefertiti, the Egyptian queen who symbolized beauty, strength, and mystery.
Thus was born the idea for a new handcrafted jewel: a hand-engraved sardonic cameo depicting the unmistakable profile of Nefertiti I, surrounded by an elegant mother-of-pearl setting.
A cameo inspired by the Queen of Egypt
The choice of a sardonyx cameo is no coincidence: this natural stone, with its intense hues and sharp contrasts, perfectly enhances Nefertiti's regal features. Every detail—from the crown to the delicate features—is sculpted with extreme precision, making this cameo jewel a unique and unrepeatable piece.
The elegance of mother-of-pearl
For the setting, I chose mother-of-pearl , a noble and luminous material reminiscent of the pearly hues of Red Sea shells. Its natural luster gives the cameo an aura of light and refinement, perfect for enhancing such an iconic face.
A tribute to art and history
This handcrafted cameo is much more than a simple accessory: it is a symbolic jewel, combining my passion for art, Egyptian history, and the timeless beauty of female figures. It is a tribute to a woman who, even today, embodies power, elegance, and mystery.
The value of handmade
Each cameo is handmade in Italy, using ancient shell carving techniques. The craftsmanship makes each piece a small masterpiece, designed for those who love to stand out with an exclusive and meaningful piece of jewelry.
