Rare Enamel and Silver Loves Bracelet by Frederic-Jules Rudolphi, Circa 1840
Located in Firenze, IT
It is composed of four round links decorated in the center of a cherub in a bright yellow and white enamel surround in reserves of gold threads. Maker's mark of F-J. RUDOLPHI.
Weight: 54.16 gr.
Dimensions: 20 x 3.8 cm.
RUDOLPHI, THE SONG OF ROMANTIC JEWEL
Like Froment-Meurice, the jeweler Frédéric-Jules RUDOLPHI deserves to be collected. The major European museums house his works. Of Danish origin, he succeeds Charles Wagner, whose workshop he directed from 1841. The sources of inspiration come from the Middle Ages or the Renaissance, accommodating in his own way the spirit of Romanticism. Among other things, loves were often illustrated, simple messengers of Love.

Archaeological-Revival Coral and Gold Spartan Diadem
Located in London, GB
An archaeological-revival coral and gold Spartan diadem, in the form of a gold band with seven concave discs each set with a cabochon coral, alternating with eight floral motifs each set with a small cabochon coral, all with gold wirework decorations of Etruscan style, made in Naples circa 1840, bearing gold hallmarks N3 with the profile of Parthenope, gross weight 94 grams.
A gorgeous and sumptuous Spartan diadem, made in the mid-nineteenth century in Italy. Beginning in the early nineteenth century, jewellery inspired by the Ancient World became very popular. This diadem is made from bright yellow gold in which is set seven glowing orange cabochon-cut coral stones within carved gold discs. Further gold wirework and smaller coral stones add to the beauty of this piece, which is simple and bold.

Winterhalter's portrait of the Empress in 1864 depicts her wearing a gold diadem similar in design to this one. Eugénie loved jewels and as well as enjoying the sumptuous French crown jewels...
