Description

---

Unique vintage gold pendant set with a total of 0.20 ct. round brilliant-cut natural diamonds. The pendant is from the brand Carrera y Carrera (Bonodea/Los Manos), a well-known brand worn by Taylor Swift, Madonna, and Jennifer Lopez, among others. The hand is matted and holds a shiny dice set with diamonds. The pendant is made of 18-carat yellow gold (750/1000). Carrera y Carrera was founded by Saturio Esteban Carrera in 1885, after he emigrated to Madrid. He never imagined that it would grow into one of the world's leading jewelers. In 1960, they were commissioned to make the tiara for the wedding of King Baudouin of Belgium and the Spanish Fabiola of Mora y Aragón. They eventually exhibited at several major exhibitions of the biggest jewelry and watch brands, which is where they were truly discovered. Their first international success was the Bonadea collection, also known as Las Manos (Hands). Their jewelry is heavily inspired by animals and fundamentally feminine. This began in 1978.
