Victorian Dove Bird Swallow Locket Pendant Etruscan Revival, Circa 1860
About the Item
This is a magnificent Victorian - Belle Epoque Picture Locket Pendant with a stunning fully modeled three dimensional dove swallow bird on the front. The locket has gorgeous Etruscan Revival granulation adornment around the bird who carries a branch with leaves. The locket is gold filled.
Birds have been popular as symbols in jewelry for a long time. Birds were traditionally seen as messengers between humanity and the gods, and their home in the sky - being so close to the heavens - was thought to bring them closer to the realms of the spirit. Doves have come to represent: peace, love, hope, faith, and devotion.
The locket opens to reveal two picture compartments with their original inserts and glass covers. The picture locket dates to the Victorian to Belle Epoque period circa 1840-1890. Bird motif lockets are so in fashion today and this one is just stunning.
The locket is in excellent condition. It opens and closes securely.
The locket is 1 1/4 inches long (34mm) not including the bales.
With the bales the locket is 2 inches (50mm) tall. It is 1 inch (26mm) wide.

- Victorian Etruscan Revival Gold Fill LocketLocated in Venice, CAThis Victorian-era Etruscan Revival locket, circa 1870’s-1880’s, opens to reveal the daguerreotype of a young man. Across from it is a blank frame where an additional photo can still be added. The daguerreotype is hand-colored—the man has rosy cheeks and there is a slight blue tinge to the background. The front of the locket features ornate twisted-wire motifs and granulation, typical to the Etruscan Revival period, and there are seed pearls on the front emblem. The original bail can clip onto a larger chain, or a smaller chain can be slid through, so the locket can be styled in multiple ways. Etruscan Revival jewelry has a rich and interesting history. In the early 1800’s there was a large excavation of Etruscan tombs outside of Rome. Within these tombs were pieces of original Etruscan jewelry. The Etruscans were master artisans, they created breathtaking pieces of jewelry through their use of gold wirework and granulation, colored gemstones and glass. The news of the excavation of these tombs, and the treasures contained inside them, spread throughout Europe. Etruscan style jewelry...Category

- Antique Etruscan Revival Ernesto Pierret Pendant, c. 1860Located in Aspen, COAntique pendant in the style of Etruscan Revival by Ernesto Pierret. This piece displays fine bead work as only a master could achieve. Ernesto Pierret, A Frenchman working in Italy, was a contemporary of Castellani and one of the finest jewelry artists of Rome at this time. He, therefore, was a leading 19th century jeweler specializing in fine archeological and Etruscan Revival jewelry - which was inspired by the discovery of the 700-300 BC tombs of the Etruscan people. Ernesto Pierret jewelry can today be seen in museum collections. This large etruscan revival pendant is a fine example of such pieces and we have not encountered another to rival this example of fine gold work. The center stone is a hand carved carnelian scarab.
