Intaglio Aphrodite Necklace
From our Intaglio Collection, this one-of-a-kind necklace features a hand-carved image of Aphrodite etched into natural coral. The intaglio, sourced from the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, was carved over a century ago by Genoese and Venetian artisans who lived in the city during the 1800s. Framed in 18k yellow gold and accented with a trio of natural diamonds, this pendant pays quiet tribute to the goddess of love, beauty, and desire.

2Size & Fit
Lengths, where offered, are in the selector above. Sixteen inches sits at the collarbone, eighteen just below it, twenty at the top of the chest. We make chains to any length; ask and we will quote it.
3Sourcing
Every stone is chosen by Albisia herself, ethically sourced from trusted cutters and dealers she has bought from for years, and set by hand at the bench in Hyde Park Village. Gold is 14k or 18k, worked in the studio. Nothing here is cast in volume; each piece is made once, or made for you.
4Care
Last thing on, first thing off: perfume, lotion and hairspray dull stones and gold alike. Store pieces apart so they cannot scratch one another.
Opal, turquoise and coral are porous and soft. No water, no chemicals, and mind the knocks.
Bring it back to the studio any time for cleaning, polishing, prong tightening or a new look at the setting; we do that for every Albisia piece.
