Castellani Etruscan Style 18kt Gold Lapis Bulla Bold Bead Necklace
About the Item
Etruscan style 18kt yellow gold bulla centered by a low dome cobalt blue cabochon lapis. The gold granulation was hand applied, each wire and bead one 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 the goldsmith. The 23 lapis beads are 23mm each with four braided gold spacers near the front and using the Castellani® signature clasp at the back. The necklace is heavy due to the large lapis beads.
The total length is 22" Length . The Bulla has a 2" Drop 1.5" Width ( 55.9cm total length. Bulla drop: 50.8mm 38mm widest width)
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 clasp.
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.
