19thc Etruscan Revival 14k Gold Brooch Set with Carved Red Coral & Seed Pearls

About the Item

19thc Etruscan Revival 14k Gold Brooch Set With Carved Coral and Silver Colored Seed Pearls. The pillow shaped concave sided brooch has an open-work gold wire border, the top with granulation and gold wire with filigree engraving on the gold wire in a scrolling design. The border is set with four, floral carved coral blossoms and the four corners are mounted with silver colored natural seed pearls and the sides with tapered free moving bullet shaped gold drops. Centering the brooch is a carved coral, sleeping putti. The warm burnished glow in the deep yellow gold was the result of a technique called bloomed gold. A high carat gold wash (22-24 kt), in this case over 14 kt gold. Bloomed gold is alloy deletion leaving a pure gold surface on a piece. This is a different look than gold plating as it leaves a nice frosted effect. These techniques were developed by the Etruscan's. They were master metal smiths and mined various ores including iron, tin, copper, silver, and gold and became famous for their metalworking. Italians have harvested coral and seashells from the Mediterranean and the Adriatic Seas since ancient times, using them to make some of Italy’s most beautiful jewelry. The shoreline of Campania is famous for the distinctive red coral that Italian jewelers often paired with gold, pearls, and other precious materials. N. P. Trent Antiques has been a respected name in antiques for over 30 years with a large collection of period furniture, art and decorative accessories.
