Story
Victorian jewelers incorporated ideas generated by the ancients and brought them to new heights. Here is an example of that master jewelry craftsmanship in a 14k yellow gold pendant.
Termed archaeological revival, jewelry took on a look inspired by the discoveries of ancient Roman, Etruscan, Hellenic and Egyptian and other civilizations. Aspects such as granulation, corded wire work, bead borders and filigree were highly prized.
Featuring twisted wire, granulation and cannetille decoration, this hollow ball pendant is outstanding. Although petite in overall size, the workmanship is outstanding, it is hollow inside, characteristic of much work of the period.
