Castellani Ancient Silver Greek Coins circa 300BCE 15kt Gold Bulla Earrings
About the Item
Etruscan Style 15kt yellow gold Bullas centered by two Ancient 300 BCE silver Greek coins. The gold granulation is hand applied, each wire and bead at a time. The process of gold granulation was created in Ancient Mediterranean civilizations. Castellani in the circa mid 1800’s became the first jeweller to study and re-create this art of goldsmithing. The wires are hinged from the top of the bulla and flow free downward, there is no hook or catch. The length including the hinged wires are 2.5” and the width 1.5” (7cm length and 3cm width). The total weight of the earrings is 25.2 grams.
In the Ancient Roman Civilization, the bulla was worn around the neck as a locket to protect against evil spirits and forces. Bullae were made of differing substances depending upon the wealth of the family.
The Castellani and Double C logo plates are affixed to the back of each earring.
Castellani’s Jewellery from the 19th Century is in museums:
British Museum; Victoria & Albert Museum; Metropolitan Museum of Art; The Smithsonian’s Cooper Hewitt Museum to name a few); exhibitions as well as in private collections.
Fortunato Pio Castellani can be called the "Father of Archeological Revival Jewellery". In the mid 1800's in Rome, Castellani had the entree to visit the Ancient Etruscan ruins. He was able to study these Ancient designs as well as other Ancient Mediterranean civilizations’ jewellery and started to create and re-design under his brand.
