Volo d'Angelo necklace in 18ct white gold set with blue Ceylon sapphires (4.3cts) and 42 diamonds (2.5cts) with a box clasp. Inspired by the masterful Cathedral and cloisters of Mon Reale, Palermo built by Roger II of Sicily. Arriving at the cathedral door from the main square, the beautifully designed wrought ironwork protects the Loggia. Composed of endless circles and floral details it seems as a 'Volo d'Angelo' - a flight of angels. From the Journey to Sicily.
The necklace measures approximately 17 inches in length
Volo d'Angelo
Waking early, I went up to Monreale, the beautiful Norman cathedral on the hill above Palmero. As I stepped out onto the piazza, the cathedral stood triumphant. Before the doors opened, I walked up and down past the railings outside that were decorated with a series of circles with winged tips where the circles met. Imagining a flight of angels, my Volo d'Angelo was thought up. In my Volo d'Angelo jewels I set lapis lazuli, garnets and diamonds where the circles joined in necklaces, bracelets and earrings.
