14K Gold Etruscan Revival Lover’s Knot Bracelet with Garnets and Pearls

About the Item

Circa 1880’s, this 14k gold Etruscan Revival bracelet has a lover’s knot motif adorned with pearls and garnets. The central part of the bracelet consists of matching graduating curb links that extend from the main section into smaller, tighter curb links along the outside. The links have twisted wirework that undulates in a snake like fashion, wrapping around the links in a way that gives the illusion of motion. Tiny circles and granulation create an elaborate treatment on the surface of the gold in a pretty Etruscan Revival detail. This is an unusual design with romantic symbolism. The bracelet seems to be created by two entities: one adorned with pearls, the other with garnets. The lover’s knots intertwine in a way that makes it hard to know where one begins and the other ends. The links are made from 14k gold. They are hollow, but masterfully made, and the gold seems to be rolled onto itself. A hidden clasp continues the curb link design. The clasp is very sturdy, and has a safety chain for added security. There are some dents on the clasp, but they are not noticeable when the piece is being worn, and because the clasp is original to the piece and still in great condition, we decided not to alter it in order to keep the integrity of the piece in tact. The bracelet weighs 10.3 grams. The widest curb links are 13/16” and the narrowest links are 1/4”. There are 8 pearls and 8 garnets. The bracelet fits a 5 3/4” - 6 1/2” size wrist.

  • Victorian 14K Gold Cannetille Etruscan Revival Bracelet
    Located in Venice, CA
    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. In the early 1800s 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...
