Antique Victorian Etruscan Revival Brooch Locket 18ct Gold Circa 1880

Details

An exquisite Antique Etruscan revival brooch from the late Victorian era fashioned in solid 18ct Yellow Gold with a reflective dome in the centre haloed by borders of detailed Etruscan style metalwork and artistry.

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 fashioned using the same ancient techniques.  

The back of the brooch is complete with a hidden locket in which a cherished photograph or lock of hair can be stored and kept close to the heart.

It is truly magnificent and has a catch and pin as well so it can be worn as a brooch or hung from a chain.
