An exquisite antique Etruscan revival pendant from the late Victorian era (circa. 1880). The piece is crafted in 18ct gold with ornate, rope edge patterning around the border and a raised dome in the centre pave set with beautiful turquoise.  

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 crafted in the same elaborate fashion.  

A locket can also be found on the reverse and displays a hand painted portrait of a finely dressed Victorian gentleman preserved behind a glass window. 

It’s an exemplary piece of Etruscan design and has remained in pristine condition.
