Memories are the most precious jewels that we can own. The “Mascherone” Chain is a wearable vessel designed expressly for the conservation of your own memories, so that the tangible treasures you collect from them might be worn close to the heart.

Inspired by the M-1941 dog tag chains issued by the U.S. Army in the early days of WWII, the “Mascherone” Chain makes use of a pair of secure, but functional hand assembled sister clasps that are cast in sterling silver according to the lost wax method.

Handcrafted in Florence by our Artisan Partner, Master Goldsmith Paolo Penko, and available in Sterling Silver or a two-tone combination of Sterling Silver and 18k Gold, the “Mascherone” Chain is the starting point of a multi-generational narrative expressed by way of unique pendants and charms.

We recommend pairing the “Mascherone” Chain with one or more of our custom pendant options: the “Moneta” Pendant, the “Numismatic” Pendant, the “Scarabeo” Pendant.

“Per Aspera, Ad Astra” translates to, “to the stars through difficulties,” and is the latin motto that we chose to weave into our exclusive “Ad Astra” scarf.

Handwoven on antique jacquard looms in a lofty blend of cashmere, silk and cotton, Marta Cucchia and her team at Atelier Giuditta Brozzetti created a limited run (4 pieces) of the “Ad Astra” scarf exclusively for L’Arte Nascosta.

Reminiscent of a tapestry, each scarf is composed of a unique selection of decorative motifs drawn from the atelier’s ancestral archive, which conserves patterns dating back to the medieval origins of Perugia’s illustrious weaving tradition.

Prioritizing warmth and functionality, we expressly requested that Marta’s team weave these scarves in maxi-proportions, measuring 19.5 inches in width by 75 inches in length (50cm X 190cm).

Color palette: coral, light blue, yellow

At one time, motifs were not only decorative, but symbolic. They distilled into aesthetically pleasing designs centuries of wisdom and understanding; for this reason they may be viewed as visual poems that pay homage to timeless customs and traditions. The motif portrayed on our exclusive “Settesoli” Scarf does precisely this through its stylized celebration of falconry through a repeating pattern of falcons and hunting dogs.
