Description
An exquisite antique Victorian Etruscan revival locket from the late 19th Century (Circa 1880) featuring a raised dome in the centre layered in a sky-blue enamel and inlaid with an eight-pointed star set with natural pearls. Â
Etruscan revival pieces were crafted in the mid 1800s when ancient Etruscan jewellery was unearthed in tombs outside of Rome beginning a fascination with the style and giving birth to these beautiful pieces which were crafted in the same decorative fashion. Â
The piece is crafted entirely in 18ct gold and displays intricate cannetille metalwork, with loops, beading and rope borders. It’s remained in pristine condition and is fitted with a large locket on the reverse complete with rim, window and a small photograph belonging to a previous owner.Â
