    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.

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...
