The Parentesi Rhodium necklace is born from slender tubes in rhodium-plated brass joined by a steel wire. At intervals, the wire moves away from the main line, opens outwards and returns. It thus defines small spaces along the profile of the necklace.
Each form has a boundary but remains open. The elements follow the neck lightly — 42 centimetres for just 17 grams — and can shift position slightly while keeping the design recognisable.
The rhodium finish gathers the light on the tubes and protects the metal over time. The fine wire makes the boundaries visible through little material and defined space. The 925 silver clasp completes the piece.
Parentesi is born for the moment you choose to define your space. A boundary thus becomes a conscious choice: it distinguishes what is yours and allows a relationship with what lies beside it.
Handmade in the Ellesanti Space in Padua. Designed for you or as a thoughtful gift.

The Ellesanti fabric gift pouches

Rhodium-plated brass

A thin layer of rhodium protects the brass and keeps it bright: clean it only when dry.

  • How to wear it. Perfume, sweat, chlorine and sea water wear away the rhodium plating: put it on after perfume and take it off before the pool, the sea and the gym.
  • How to clean it. A soft, dry cloth, ideally microfibre. No silver cleaners, polishing pastes or sponges: they remove the rhodium plating.
  • How to store it. In its box, away from other jewellery: metals scratch each other.

Gold-plated brass

A thin layer of gold on brass: it stays warm and bright with a dry cloth and a little care.

  • How to wear it. Perfume, creams, chlorine and sea water darken and wear away the gold plating: put it on last and take it off before the pool and the sea.
  • How to clean it. A soft, dry cloth, ideally microfibre. No silver cleaners, polishing pastes or sponges: they remove the gold plating.
  • How to store it. In its box, away from other jewellery: gold is soft and scratches easily.

For all jewellery

  • How to wear it. Put it on last, after creams, perfume and hairspray. Take it off before showering, swimming in the sea or pool, exercising and going to bed.
  • How to clean it. When you take it off, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth: a few seconds are enough.
  • How to store it. Keep it in its box, in a dry drawer, away from your other jewellery. The bathroom, with its steam, is the least suitable place.

Parentesi Rhodium Necklace

With you every day

Parentesi follows the neck with a slender, light structure. The tubes define the line. The steel wire opens between the elements and reveals small spaces.

With movement, the forms shift position slightly. The rhodium finish gathers the light along the profile.

An essential presence, precise, never rigid. Every day, it reminds you of the choice to protect your personal space.

The material, up close.

The rhodium-plated brass of the Parentesi necklace is worked into slender tubes: 42 centimetres long, 17 grams. Each element defines part of the necklace’s profile. A fine steel wire runs between the tubes. At intervals it opens and draws small spaces, keeping them visible.

The rhodium plating gives the metal a clear, luminous surface and protects it from oxidation. Material and space make every boundary readable.

The 925 sterling silver clasp completes the structure with simplicity.

The workbench of the Ellesanti workshop, in Padua

Made by hand in Italy, after you order

Every Ellesanti piece is assembled by hand in Italy, in our artisan workshop. Your order starts the work: we prepare the components, assemble them one by one and check every detail, from the clasp to the gift box. In 3-5 days it is ready, and it travels to you with tracked shipping.

If you pass through Padua, our workshop is in the window: you can watch it at work.

This is the path of Parentesi Rhodium

Every form is born from a choice

  1. The question

    How do I protect my space without closing myself off?

  2. The choice

    I draw my boundaries.

  3. Translation

    Breaks and geometries create small brackets.

  4. Result

    A clear boundary, still open.

A bracket marks out a space. It points to what lies inside and sets it apart from what stays outside. It does so without closing it completely.

Parentesi brings this principle into form. Each opening traces a visible boundary. The space stays free, but now it is defined.
