Italian Grand Tour Lava Bracelet

245F
Written by Olly Gerrish

This metal bracelet would have been sold, most likely, in Naples in Italy in the early 19th century, to tourists who were doing the “Grand Tour” of Europe. It comprises six cameos of various ladies in the Neo-Classical style which was the fashion then. They were carved from the lava from Mount Vesuvius. The cameos are a variety of colours, pale shades of yellow, green and brown, and the surface is matt.
