Renaissance revival pendant on chain

Renaissance revival pendant on chain. Culture: British. Dimensions: Overall (confirmed): 3 × 1 3/4 in. (7.6 × 4.4 cm); Length of chain (confirmed): 15 in. (38.1 cm). Maker: Carlo Giuliano (Italian, active England, ca. 1831-1895). Date: mid-late 19th century. This pendant evokes Renaissance jewelry more overtly than other Giuliano pieces in the Museum's collection, and its decorative effect derives largely from a semi-precious stone, in this case amethyst, which is not the case with the other works. The use of openwork and enameling in combination with pearls and semi-precious stones is typical of Giuliano's work in the Renaissance style; the pendant retains its original chain. While Carlo Giuliano made other Renaissance-revival pendants that prominently employed amethysts, the workmanship on this example is unusually fine.
