A bespoken jewelry set including a necklace and a pair of clip-on earrings crafted by Graziella Laffi (1923-2009), Lima, Peru, circa 1970. The suite features linked square of green hardstone (Azure Malachite) set in the sterling frames with hanging long tubes of tassels. The design of the work was bold and confidently modern while also clearly inspired by Peruvian indigenous culture which imprinted famously in the artist's work. Marks to each: G. Laffi, PERU, 925. Graziella Laffi was born in 1923 in Florence, Italy to Gino Laffi, a silversmith and artist.

She next attended Escuela de Bellas Artes de Puerta Romana for three years, where Gino taught, and then to the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze, where she concentrated in architecture until the start of World War II. In 1947, Graziella, then twenty-four, immigrated with her parents to Peru. Gino later created a silversmith studio and showroom called Fabrica Laffi on Avenue Mexico, where Graziella initially learned her Craft.

She exhibited her growing collection of Peruvian artifacts...
