An archaeological revival demi-parure by Castellani

modelled in the Etruscan taste, the necklace of twelve large amethyst beads separated by rhomboid gold spacers, suspending a fringe of nine purposefully antiqued circular gold roundels, with beaded wire and rope-twist filigree borders, continuing to the back with  gold beads including filigree spheres and polished discs, the earrings of matching design.

Rome, circa 1870.
