Great Blackamoor Mektoub 2° Triumph of the East
A Messenger of Love, a Triumph of the East – In the heart of ancient Venice, a maritime and mercantile city that has always been a bridge between East and West, a jewel is born that embodies the elegance of the Serenissima and the allure of Eastern influences: the Venetian Moretto brooch. This extraordinary piece is not merely an ornament, but a living fragment of history and culture. The Moretto, a noble and mysterious figure, symbolizes the profound bond that united Venice and the Eastern world, with which it had maintained exchanges and relations since ancient times. The most oriental of Western cities, Venice even transformed the image of Muslim Turkish pirates—defeated by the Doges—into an icon of triumph, power, and beauty. The 7.5 cm, 63.10 gram brooch is a masterpiece of craftsmanship: the bust is carved from ebony, while the finely crafted robe is an 18-karat yellow gold net studded with 2.02 carats of brilliant-cut diamonds. The sumptuous gold and silver turban is adorned with brilliant-cut diamonds: a regal heron feather dominates the ensemble. In the Islamic cultures of the Ottoman, Persian, and Mughal Empires, the feather had a profound symbolic meaning, both spiritual and of social status—a detail that lends this jewel its uniqueness and prestige. A symbol of love and refinement, this moretto is a messenger of love and, at the same time, an act of belonging to an ancient tradition, to a proud Venice, open to the world and deeply aware of its identity. Wearing a moretto means declaring who we are: custodians of beauty, history, and passion. Finally, the meaning of the word: Mektoub is destiny, in Eastern culture it is part of faith, and is linked to everything that happens in life, it is destiny, which awaits everyone at the entrance and exit of time!
