The Italian city of Arezzo has quite a reputation. Tracing its goldsmithing roots back to the ancient Etruscan civilization that lived there nearly three millennia ago, it remains an international capital of gold and high fashion today. Which is why Stauer has an office in Arezzo, located in a building that predates the Renaissance.
Twice a year, the entire city turns out in medieval costume to take part in the Saracen Joust, a competition on horseback where knights from different quarters of the city compete against each other to win the Golden Lance. We’ve taken inspiration from this joust to craft our Italian Gold Ingot Pendant. Crafted in Italy of .999 24-karat fine gold, this pendant features adaptations of the horse and tower found on the Arezzo coat of arms. Surrounded by a 14k gold frame, these ingots are presented in both 1- and 2-gram offerings. We say it’s the smartest investment in beauty you’ll ever make.
