Venetian Blackamoor Oliviò 1979
A jewel that embodies the history and mastery of Venetian goldsmithing. The Venetian Moor Brooch, dated 1979, is crafted from high-quality 925 silver, 24kt gold-plated, with 18kt yellow gold inserts. The hand-carved coral head was a novelty at the time, as Moor heads were typically made of ebony. The brooch is embellished with rubies, diamonds, tsavorites, pearls, and a teardrop sapphire that illuminates the composition. On the back of the bust, a furnace-enameled Venetian noble coat of arms testifies to the care and tradition that accompanies every detail. Thanks to the turban ring, the jewel can be worn as a brooch or pendant, maintaining its elegance in any form. The creation is entirely artisanal: each element is born from a sheet of precious metal, designed, perforated, and engraved with a burin. No modern technology is used: no lasers, no computers. Just flame welding, the expert hand of the craftsman, and a tradition passed down through the centuries. The stones are set, never glued, and the workmanship faithfully follows the ancient Venetian goldsmith school, a heritage of history and skills that stand the test of time. These Moretti pieces still retain that “old culture” that Venice manages to express despite the transformations of recent decades. A unique, rare, collectible jewel. Dimensions: 6.7 cm
