Sicilian Necklace with Green Stones and Ceramic Coffa Bag

An imposing and majestic necklace made of forest green Agate stones and beautiful Sicilian Coffa in Caltagirone Ceramic.

The coffa, known today as a highly fashionable accessory, especially as it has been revisited by the most famous fashion designers, its origin actually dates back to the ancient Sicilian peasant tradition.
In fact, it began as a very simple straw basket (the leaves of the dwarf palm tree were needed to make it), which was attached to the neck of a donkey or horse and served to hold food and provisions for the peasants.
Today, coffes are still made on a straw base, but are adorned and embellished with pom poms, tassels, mirrors and all kinds of fabrics.

A necklace with which you will hardly go unnoticed, both for the liveliness of the colours and for the uniqueness of the coffe, painted entirely by hand with different designs on the front and back and with lemons in relief that enhance the craftsmanship behind it and enhance its Sicilian character.
