Description:
An 18ct yellow gold, pendant in the form of the 'Green Man' by Italian haute jewellery house Cazzaniga, set with eighteen modern round brilliant cut diamonds of reported total weight 1.00 carats and eighteen rubies in eyes, bale and mouth of reported total weight 3.39 carats. Pendant measuring 7.0 x 5.3 cm is suspended from a wheat link 5.7 mm wide and 81.5 cm long chain, secured with a large lobster clasp. Total weight of chain and pendant 122 grams. Since 1940s, Angelo Giorgio Cazzaniga begins to design jewels that represent the perfect synthesis between artistic elements belonging to different epochs and cultures: Renaissance recalls, Byzantine inserts, Baroque euphoria, Oriental influences. The complexity of designs and decorations and the copiousness of gold and coloured stones give rise to a wonderful dizziness and transport to a solar tribute to movement and vitality. Thus the 'Cazzaniga's Baroque' is born, which offers a fascinating illusionist game aimed at a cultured and refined audience, able to grasp the many shades which animate it. Starting from the eighties, Paolo Cazzaniga, Son of Angelo Giorgio and current atelier owner, innovated Cazzaniga's style with a contemporary taste: expanded the range of materials used and combines them into new, exciting combinations; gave greater slenderness to the architectures, making them almost evanescent; introduced new and exotic themes, borrowing from the oriental Art tradition.
