Butteri Necklace - 18K Gold Plated
Description
Gold torque necklace with sun pendant detail. Hand-modelled by Olivia using ancient techniques, the pendant glows with a gentle, hand-made texture.
Named for the painter Butteri, whose gilded visions helped cast the Medicis in eternal light, it also nods to the stars that dot religious artwork from Byzantium to Florence. Pairs well with bare shoulders and late-afternoon sun.
This item is a fixed length, the closing mechanism is such that extenders cannot be used.
Pendant: 4cm x 4.2cm. Choker: 39cm
Custom Order
This bespoke item will be handcrafted in our Istanbul or Florence studios, over 4-6 weeks.

Jewelry Care
What to know about 18k Gold-Plated jewelry
Our 18k Gold-Plated jewelry is coated with 1.5 microns of rich, 18k gold. While 18k gold plating is beautiful and, thanks to the skill of our artisans, relatively durable, it is in the nature of any plated object that it will naturally wear over time.
The better care is provided your 18k Gold-Plated jewelry, the longer the period it will retain its excellent condition.
Items that have experienced wearing can often be replated for a small fee. Contact us for more information.
How to store 18k Gold-Plated jewelry
To protect your 18k Gold-Plated jewelry, store it in a completely dry place, away from direct sunlight. For added protection, store it in an anti-tarnish pouch or case.
How to clean 18k Gold-Plated jewelry
Gently wipe your pieces with a soft cloth or toothbrush to remove dirt and residue. Avoid using any polish, as it can wear away the delicate gold plating.
