Jewelry

Jewelry skillfully crafted with fine gold and silver filigree, red coral, precious and semi-precious stones constitute the essential equipment of traditional festive clothing. Richly decorated and embellished buttons, present in numerous women's and men's clothing: in the collars and cuffs of shirts, in jackets or along the sleeves. Silver or gold wire earrings, often with cameos depicting zoomorphic figures, worn by women since childhood. The necklaces, perhaps the most important jewel in the entire kit. Gold and silver chains of all lengths, to which a pendant can be attached, often worn together at the same time.

Silver chains with terminal clips, chiseled and decorated with zoomorphic or apotropaic figures, used for garments such as coats, headgear or aprons. The amulets shaped with precious metals and stones together with organic and inorganic materials endowed with therapeutic powers, which recall religious traditions and ancient magical practices in harmony with nature and the universe.

Gioielleria

Gioielli abilmente lavorati con finissima filigrana d’oro e d’argento, corallo rosso, pietre preziose e semi preziose costituiscono il corredo essenziale dell’abbigliamento festivo tradizionale. Bottoni riccamente decorati e impreziositi, presenti numerosi nell’abbigliamento femminile e maschile: nei colletti e nei polsini delle camicie, nei giubbetti o lungo le maniche. Orecchini in filo d'argento o d'oro, spesso con cammei raffiguranti figure zoomorfe, indossati dalle donne fin dall’infanzia. Le collane, forse il gioiello più importante dell'intero corredo. Catene d’oro e d’argento di tutte le lunghezze, a cui può essere agganciato un pendente, spesso portate insieme contemporaneamente. Catene d'argento con fermagli terminali, cesellate e decorate con figure zoomorfe o apotropaiche, adoperate per indumenti quali cappotti, copricapo o grembiuli. Gli amuleti plasmati con metalli preziosi e pietre insieme a materiali organici e inorganici dotati di poteri terapeutici, che rievocano tradizioni religiose e antiche pratiche magiche in sintonia con la natura e l’universo.
