Vintage 18K Gold Etruscan Revival Extra Large Lantern Charm w/ Encrusted Jewels
About the Item
This vintage 18k gold Italian lantern charm is encrusted with citrine, amethyst, garnet, tourmaline and turquoise, bezel set among Etruscan Revival wirework and granulation. The ornate vintage piece was most likely first purchased at the Ponte Vecchio, a bridge in Florence famous for its jewelry shops and decadent baubles. The charm is oversized—the largest we’ve come across in this style. Layered like a wedding cake, the bottom tier contains gemstones in an array of saturated jewel tones—from vivid green tourmaline to brick red spessartine garnet to dusty purple amethyst . In the middle tier, turquoise cabochons are held in a crimped bezel setting—like a flower or ruffle—a jewelry technique that has been used since the Victorian era, giving the piece an antique feel. The top tier features garnet cabochons delineated by rows of granulation.
The shape of the charm represents the street lamps used in ancient Italian cities—imagine the city streets lit with moonlight and bejeweled lanterns. This beautiful pendant captures the magic of this image and makes a wonderful homage to another time and place.
The charm weighs 24.2 grams. It measures 1 5/8” x 1 1/8”, plus a 7.6 mm round bail. It is unmarked but acid tests as 18k. The bottom row contains approximately 12 carats of jewels (citrine, amethyst, garnet, spessartine garnet, and tourmaline). The middle row contains approximately 2 carats of turquoise. The top row contains approximately 8 carats of garnet.
Circa 1960.

- Victorian Etruscan Revival Gold Fill LocketLocated in Venice, CAThis Victorian-era Etruscan Revival locket, circa 1870’s-1880’s, opens to reveal the daguerreotype of a young man. Across from it is a blank frame where an additional photo can still be added. The daguerreotype is hand-colored—the man has rosy cheeks and there is a slight blue tinge to the background. The front of the locket features ornate twisted-wire motifs and granulation, typical to the Etruscan Revival period, and there are seed pearls on the front emblem. The original bail can clip onto a larger chain, or a smaller chain can be slid through, so the locket can be styled in multiple ways. Etruscan Revival jewelry has a rich and interesting history. In the early 1800’s 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...Category
