A pretty 9ct gold bangle that was made circa 1900-1910. It has been set in star shaped settings with three opals and two old mine cut diamonds.\u00a0It has applied gold work known as \u201cEtruscan work\u201d which is fine gold wire that has been hand applied. To understand Etruscan Revival jewellery, you have to know of the original Etruscan jewellery unearthed in tombs just outside Rome in the early 1800s. Intricately wrought golden earrings and necklaces were meticulously ornamented with tiny gold beads and twisted wires densely applied to the surface. No one had seen gold worked like that since the Etruscans had carefully buried the treasures with their dead.
\nThe secret to the fascinating granulation found on the Etruscan hoards was claimed to have been discovered by Fortunato Pio Castellani and he produced many replicas of archeological treasure finds using ancient techniques. Other jewellers copied his technique. This bangle is a good example. It has a safety chain for added security. A perfect present!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
