Featured That was a close one - Angela Caputi necklace?

Sorry very modern but wonder if anyone knows anything about Caputi to ID this?
I’ve had this necklace for a while in my ‘donor bead’ box.
I needed some black beads and pulled this out, got my snips to take it apart, couldn’t quite get the right angle so opened the clasp and saw it was stamped Fiocchi. A quick google led me to Angela Caputi. I put the scissors away.
Does anyone know if Caputi is usually signed or have a dangle?
They pictures I’ve looked at on google look right especially the clasp but is the Fiocchi stamp the maker of the clasp only?
Thanks

 

Wise move.
Having said that, I haven't a clue about either Fiocchi or Caputi.

 

Clearly neither have I hence it’s near untimely demise!

 

Good thing you stopped running with those scissors before the whole thing was kaput!

 

Tutti caputi. Fiocchi!

 

That's really rather handsome.

If I was listing, I include in the title: "marked Fiocchi Italy" and I think that would find your buyers. Under Ebay sold, just one advertised the Angela Caputi name/Fiocchi, (all the rest just advertised "Marked Fiocchi Italy") so people must be searching under "Fiocchi". I'm not sure we can say for sure this is Angela Caputi, maybe value wise doesn't matter.

By the way they all seem to have this black barrel clasp.

Glad you caught that signature before cutting it open!

 

Yes I will list it as it's really not my style. But you probably already realise that as I was poised to dismember it

Lesson learned to check more carefully next time.

 

You can always ask the company if it's an Angela Caputi piece. It certainly appears to be her work.

That's a great idea. Thanks Debora

 

Err.....slight hitch....anyone fluent in Italian.....?

 

@Gianluca72 , could you help KSW translate an email into Italian please?

 

Not to worry. They'll speak English.

While waiting for Gianluca, I find this translation program pretty good, especially for Romance languages.

Thanks AJ and Debora. I'll give it a go and if I have no luck I'll ask GianLuca72 to help. This forum is so multi talented!

 

Hello
ok send me the text

 

Hi Gian, thank you for the quick reply.

 

Thankyou, that's very kind of you to offer.
I have just sent them an email in English. If I don't get a response I will message you for a translation please.

 

Italy's a First World country; Florence is a major tourist destination; Angela Caputi is an international company; their web site is bi-lingual Italian/English. Suspect they'll be able to scrape up someone to respond.
