This complete vintage Italian Riccio parure turns intricate chainwork into a striking study in three colors. Yellow-gold, rose-gold and silver-tone rows are woven into a supple chevron pattern, graduating from slender ends to broader centers. The necklace falls to a crisp V at the neckline; the bracelet repeats its tapered form, while long drop earrings complete the coordinated design.
Made in Italy from 925 sterling silver with gold vermeil accents, the set dates to approximately the 1980s. It combines the tailored glamour of the period with beautifully fluid construction, catching the light across every textured row. Complete three-piece Riccio sets are considerably less common than necklaces found individually.
