About the Item

18th century Italian hand-carved angel holding in one hand a Herkimer diamond with a centered single gold pearl and resting on a coordinating gold Mica in matrix. The angel artifact was once a part of a heavenly depiction in a historic church in Italy, showing its original applied bole layer on the back. The double terminated Herkimer quartz crystals are known for their faceting and resemblance to a natural diamond without needing to be cut or polished. The piece was put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she transformed the piece and the period shows that the Italian angel is originally 18th century. Together, the angel and natural elements appear as if they evolved together over time, creating a figurative, contemporary work of historic significance.
