Made You Look Topaz Necklace

Francesca Villa creates designs inspired by travel and art, blending treasures discovered around the world with precious materials. 
Villa was inspired by the historical tradition of Lover’s Eye, a custom from a time when free marriage was forbidden. Lovers exchanged miniature portraits of each other’s eyes as a secret token of devotion. Paying homage to this romantic motif, she created the playful LOVERS EYE collection using rare lenticular eye images that shift expression with movement, winking lightly and appearing almost alive.
The winking lenticular is set within an eye motif accented in blue enamel, surrounded by diamonds and pearls, timeless symbols of love. Diamonds and black enamel also adorn the bail, and with even the slightest movement of the wearer, the eye gently winks, catching the light as if sending a secret signal to those who see it.
The LOVER'S EYE collection received the “Best in Pearl” award at COUTURE 2025, a testament to Villa’s celebrated creativity and originality.
