An exciting pair of signed Faraone Mennella hoops, turquoise and 18-karat gold, swinging a full three inches from the ear. Two smooth turquoise circles, one small and one more generous, joined by bright polished yellow gold links on a simple French wire. Pure summer on the Italian Riviera.

Roberto Faraone Mennella and Amedeo Scognamiglio, founders of the design house, grew up together in Torre del Greco, the town below Vesuvius that has carved Italy's coral and cameos for two centuries. They brought that heritage to New York in 2001 and soon had designs sold in every major high-end department store. A signed early piece from Farone Menella is well worth owning!
