Victorian 18ct Gold & Diamond Etruscan Revival Bangle

229W
40 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A smart 18ct gold bangle that was made circa 1860-1880. It has been set with thirteen well matched diamonds surrounded by applied gold work known as “Etruscan work” 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.
The 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 wonderful example of the technique and is so wearable. It also has a safety chain for added security.
