Condition Notes: Exquisitely crafted in 18k rose gold, this necklace evokes a sense of motion and grace, blossoming with organic elegance in the form of a sculptural calla lily. A magnificent 29.00 carat pear-shaped citrine dangles at the heart of this piece, its hue perfectly echoed by a sequence of round orange sapphires trailing along the neckline and blooming across the flower form. Intricate pavé-set black diamonds nestle within the inner folds of the lily, providing contrast to the shimmering near-colorless diamonds outlining the petal curves. While there is minor discoloration at the base of the bloom due to a prior minor repair, it remains discreet and does not diminish the striking craftsmanship of the piece. A luminous representation of Italian design, marked with known gem weights and bearing the Italian maker’s mark < 1813 AL > attributed to New Italian Art S.r.l. di Giuseppe Mantelli of Valenza, Italy, this floral marvel is as much a work of wearable art as it is a gemstone showcase.
New Italian Art: New Italian Art, founded in 1969 in Valenza, Italy, is known for blending traditional goldsmithing with bold, sculptural design. Housed in a historic palazzo since 1987, the brand creates high-fashion jewelry in 18k gold, pearls, and rare gemstones. With global recognition and award-winning designs, it stands as a modern expression of Italian luxury and innovation.
