Contact me if this is returned
A 19th century Etruscan Revival pendant with a carved coral bug, and extremely finely applied granulation and wirework. Of the highest quality. Converted from a brooch, with a new bale and 14K gold chain. In the 19th century, archaeological discoveries inspired a revival of both Etruscan designs, and goldsmithing techniques.
