About the Item

This exceptional Antique Archaeological Revival necklace, crafted in rare 15-carat yellow gold, dates to the 1880s and beautifully showcases the Victorian fascination with ancient Etruscan artistry. The necklace features intricate twisted wire detailing, delicate granulation, and bold domed gold bosses spaced around the collar—hallmarks of the finest Archaeological Revival workmanship. Inspired by the goldsmithing techniques rediscovered during major archaeological excavations in Italy, jewellery like this became highly sought-after in the late 19th century. This piece perfectly reflects that era’s desire to recreate the elegance and symbolism of the ancient world. Elegant, wearable, and historically significant, it sits gracefully around the neckline. Length: 41.0 cm Width: 4.0 mm – 10.0 mm with gold ball details
