Carved Lava Gold Victorian Bracelet in Original Case

922C
244 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

This bracelet is composed of seven different coloured lava plaques which have been carved with images of Petrarch, Machiavelli, etc. It is in excellent condition and in its original case. The plaques are set in 18ct gold. Travelers on the Grand Tour of Europe found the newly excavated ruins of Pompeii to be an irresistible stop. Lava trinkets from these sites made for excellent souvenirs. The local industry was equal to the demand and created many cameos and intaglios out of this unlikely material. These beautiful carvings were were set into rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces such as this example.
