Mariana Gorga – Infinita Misericordia (2024) Necklace
Sterling silver and Baroque pearl
21 cm (h) × 16 cm (w) × 3 cm (d)
Description
“Infinita Misericordia” (“Infinite Mercy”) is a sculptural necklace by Mariana Gorga that embodies the emotional drama and spiritual symbolism of the Baroque. Inspired by the theme Infinite Baroque and the angelic figures in Caravaggio’s The Seven Acts of Mercy (1606–07), the piece evokes human vulnerability alongside a hopeful belief in a celestial universe, transforming the jewel into a symbol of protection and spirituality.
The necklace originated from a hand-carved wax core, later cast in metal and finished with a luminous Baroque pearl. Every detail is meticulously sculpted, with the reverse of the wing rendered as masterfully as the front, reflecting exceptional craftsmanship from all angles.
Recognition
This work earned the Excellence of Craftsmanship Award – Third Prize from Alessio Bosch during Roma Jewelry Week, curated by Monica Cecchini and promoted by Incinque Jewels. The event was held at the prestigious Markets of Trajan – Museum of the Imperial Fora in Rome.
