Victorian 18ct Gold & Banded Onyx Pendant in Original Case

415H
183 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A fantastic quality 18ct gold brooch that can also be worn as a pendant as it has a hidden bale which hinges up. It has been beautifully made with hand applied Etruscan work. The finest jewellery from the ancient world was created by the Etruscans who had settled in Tuscany in Italy in the late 8th century BC. Their reputation rests primarily on their unequaled mastery of the difficult ancient gold work technique of Granulation, that created superb, textured surface patterning, on their gold work. In the 1860-1880 period in England there was an Etruscan revival and superb pieces were produced by amongst others, Phillips of Cockspur Street, Castellani and E W Streeter. This piece is set with foiled banded sardonyx with a further clever detail of light blue enamel along the edges of the gold.
