Etruscan Revival Cameo Bracelet

Created circa 1860–1870, this Etruscan Revival 18K gold and shell cameo bracelet likely originates from the Italian peninsula. It is mounted with high relief carved cameos of Diana, Jupiter, Juno, Saturn, and Mercury, as well as a later cameo of a Renaissance figure, each framed by applied wire and bead work, and joined by columnar links. Of delicate carving and skilled Revivalist gold work, this elegant collection of cameo gods and goddesses is graceful and light on the arm.
