Description
An exquisite antique Etruscan revival pendant from the mid-Victorian era (Circa 1860) depicting an ornate sun with an icicle dropper below. A turquoise encrusted dome also bulges out of the centre and is crowned with a twinkling old mine cut diamond on top.Â
Etruscan revival pieces were crafted in the mid 1800s when ancient Etruscan jewellery was unearthed in tombs outside of Rome beginning a fascination with the style and giving birth to these beautiful pieces which were crafted in the same decorative fashion. Â
The pendant is all 18ct gold and is decorated with elaborate cannetille metalwork, with a concealed locket hidden at the back in which a lock of hair or small photograph can be inserted and treasured.   Â
It’s a fascinating antique find, displaying exceptional workmanship. It’s complete with a chunky 18ct gold cable chain to display it on, secured with a new bolt ring clasp.  Â
