A PAIR OF 19TH CENTURY GOLD AND MALACHITE PENDENT EARRINGS, CIRCA 1860Of Etruscan revival design, each articulated earring formed as an oval malachite cameo depicting the face of Venus, suspending a gold and malachite amphora, with applied beading detail, mounted in gold, French assay mark, length 6.8cmEtruscan Revival JewelleryIn the early 1800s archaeologists excavated Etruscan tombs outside Rome, unearthing many treasures that had been buried including jewellery. The most beautiful examples were intricately wrought gold earrings and necklaces bearing rows of pendants in the form of various mythological creatures such as harpies, mermaids and gorgons. Jewellery with such fine gold work had not been seen since the burials themselves many centuries ago.The discovery of these ancient designs sparked inspiration in goldsmiths and jewellers of the 19th Century and by the middle of the century the Etruscan style was prominent in revival jewellery, joining the Egyptian and Renaissance revival designs. The 19th Century Italian jeweller Fortunato Pio Castellani specialised in the recreation of ancient jewellery and he produced many replicas of Etruscan jewellery using ancient techniques. With jewellers such as Castellani emulating this style, it quickly spread throughout Europe and was used to produce elaborate jewellery that was so coveted by Victorian high class society.The spread of ancient civilisation jewellery was accelerated by the mass production of the industrial age, even reaching across the Atlantic to the shores of America. The American Civil War had widowed many woman and orphaned many children thus making Victorian England mourning jewellery particularly appealing. A typical motif seen adorned on mourning lockets was a classical urn in Etruscan style with a lock of the deceased loved one’s hair against a grieving heart.
