The Neptunus bracelet, created by the Maddalena Rocco, an Italian goldsmith, is a body embellishment which may be also intended as a sculpture to be placed on a surface. A fossil bone is supported by a silver rope. In the back of the bracelet a mirroring plate surface with the engraved figure of a young Neptune with the trident is fixed by lost-was casting. Neptunus is a god of the deep sea, a young man who watches us from below and is represented by two symbols: the trident and the sandy bed of sea in the form of drops. The bracelet embodies the exploration of mankind's inner world.
Completed the studies of painting at the Art Academy of Brera, Milano, Maddalena Rocco, enters the world of jewelry. Through the years she also hones the technique of burin engraving and creates a own line of jewels where the incision is a visual track engraved in metal and the subjects are depicted in a fragmented, fortuitous manner, almost a sort of enigmatic small "frame" which remains imprinted on a mirroring surface. Maddalena Rocco is an artist, who is cooperating with important jewellery companies, when she is not creating her own jewels. She is a engraving teacher in secondary schools in Milan and is always trying to keep updated regarding the best ways of performing her jobs. She is focused on the burin engraving, modelling techniques also using her designer skills.

The language of jewellery itself is put at stake once again. An ancient technique like burin engraving assumes, with fragmentation of the image, a new formal connotation.
