Product Info

Many pieces of jewelry that are called "Etruscan Revival" should really be called "Archaeological Revival" since they are based on ancient precedents other than Etruscan. However this exceptional 19th century bracelet is rightfully called Etruscan Revival since it is based on Etruscan pieces in the famed Campana Collection in the Louvre.

Consisting of eight square plaques, it has extraordinarily minute granulation and fine wirework. The granulation is so tiny that you should click on the magnification function in the enlarged photos to see it properly.  Even the back side of this bracelet is incredibly beautiful. Though unsigned, an almost-identical example of this bracelet is on page 238 of Understanding Jewelry by David Bennett and Daniela Mascetti, attributed to the maker Fasoli. They describe the workmanship of the bracelet as "exemplary".
