 Goldsmith production


Abruzzo’s goldsmith production is characterized by filigree’s realizations and by fusion, relief and chisel’s techniques. At present, filigree working prevails in Pescocostanzo, Sulmona and Guardiagrele, while in Scanno the micrifusion is preferred and it is used also silver.  

Recurrent models are, for example the “ciarcelle” or the “sciaquajje”, earrings made in Pescocostanzo and Scanno, and the “Presentosa”, a star shaped medallion, surrounded by filigree’s arabesque.

In the centre of this jewel there is usually a heart or two united by a half-moon, love’s symbol and promise and destined to lovers.
