The "toppa" ring is one of the piece of jewelry that completes the traditional women's costume of Piana degli Albanesi. This ring is one of the most typical examples of traditional Sicilian goldsmithing and is commonly called "toppa" (patch) due to its characteristic circular shape. In the 18th century, it was used as an engagement ring, a function it maintained for a long time. In recent years, this ring has been making a strong comeback, widely appreciated for its elegance and design.
The ring is handcrafted in keeping with ancient Sicilian goldsmith traditions using gold and silver. The gold components consist of the band and the upper structure supporting the silver base, which is set with a rose-cut diamond pavé. The central diamond is roughly twice the size of the surrounding stones, which are arranged concentrically.
This ring represents a precious heirloom to pass down through generations or to add to a fine collection. For this reason, it comes with a detailed photographic certificate of authenticity confirming its provenance and originality. Shipping is handled with the utmost care and security, using only express couriers specialized in transporting works of art.
