14K Gold Etruscan Revival Turquoise Cabochon, and Diamond Brooch

About the Item

This is a gorgeous 14k gold, turquoise, and diamond brooch, made in the Etruscan Revival style of the 1870's. It has a three dimensional dome at its center, which is covered in turquoise cabochons of different sizes and shades, and accented at the very top with a single rose cut diamond. The dome is set in a 14k gold circle, accented with classic Etruscan Revival wire work. This piece is incredible for its craft and precision. Traditionally, Victorian brooches had a dual purpose and were used as lockets to carry around a memento of a loved one. The brooch doubles as a locket: the back features a glass panel, which can be removed to encase a photograph or a lock of hair, and also contains a loop that can be used as a bail. The Etruscan Revival period was an era of jewelry making that dates to the 1860-80’s. 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, and they created breathtaking pieces of jewelry through their use of gold wire and beading. As the news of the excavation of these tombs and the treasures contained inside them spread throughout Europe, Etruscan Revival jewelry quickly rose to popularity in the Victorian Era and jewelers created their own versions of these ancient pieces. This piece is in very good condition with some minor loss to gold wire work. The circular brooch measures 32 mm in diameter and weighs 9.6 grams. It has been tested and proves to be 14 karat gold.

    A beautiful 14k yellow gold bracelet from the Etruscan Revival period, circa 1880. The bracelet is exquisitely hand-made and is a fine example of cannetille gold work, which is similar to filigree work with fine gold wires that curl around thinly hammered sheets. Cannetille gold work was inspired by embroidery and nature. The repeating curling designs on each segment of the bracelet are harmonious and elegant. The diamond shape of the segment has an oval decoration, framed with gold wirework, and inside this, there is a symmetrical curling design. Each segment measures one inch and the bracelet, made up of six segments, is approximately seven inches. Each segment is hollow, and connected through thick gold links decorated with gold beads. The bracelet feels great when worn, and has a safety chain so that it doesn't fall off. The bracelet weighs a total of 18 grams and is in perfect condition. This bracelet displays the aesthetic tastes of an era of nostalgia and romance. Etruscan Revival jewelry has a rich and interesting history.
