Part of a Set:See my other auctions, I have a set of this design, shown in the photos. This magnificent Cini sterling silver jewelry set embodies the grandeur and intricate detailing of the Renaissance Revival period. The set's craftsmanship showcases ornate floral motifs, cherubs, and mythical creatures, all rendered with exquisite detail. Each piece of this set has been treated to create a deep patina that emphasizes its Gothic and Romantic allure. The patina is dark and rich, giving the silver a luxurious and mysterious feel that enhances the vintage charm of the set. The Gothic undertones and dark finish add a layer of modern sophistication to the classical Renaissance-inspired designs.Overall Theme & CharacteristicsThis set revolves around common Renaissance Revival elements: cherubs, floral scrollwork, and mythical creatures, with a romantic, Gothic flair. The deep patina unifies the collection, giving each piece a dark yet alluring appearance. The patina is uniform across the set, creating a cohesive look, while the intricacies of each piece’s design allow for individual expression. The swirling, ornate designs evoke themes of mythology and classic European art, while the polished silver balls provide a modern contrast to the darkened silver. About Cini Guglielmo Cini came from Italy to Boston in the early 1900s, and then settled in Laguna Beach, California, where he had a jewelry studio. My grandmother and great-aunts would save up their money to buy sets from him. Earrings, pendants, brooches, necklaces, bracelets and rings. He was one of the most famous artisan jewelry makers of that time. His specialties were European and specifically Italian traditional designs; Renaissance motifs such as the Fleur de Lis, shields, and crests (such as the lovely Prince of Wales design); elements of nature such as flowers, feathers, fruit, animals, and insects; dancing peasants; dragons; signs of the zodiac; keys; and all sorts of decorative Rococo flourishes and curlicues. He also did a later series of jewelry with semi-precious stones such as topaz, and also colored glass. Very beautiful. If any of those sound interesting to you, please see my other items for sale and auction. I am clearing out a family collection of Cini and other jewelry.
