Gold Rosette Earrings

Gold Rosette Earrings: Inspired by a pair of solitair studs made in gold, in the form of stylised flowers, the centres and alternating granulated petals and filigree ornament. Made by Carlo Giuliano in London between 1865-1870. The granulation, or fine surface texture of minute grains of gold on the original earrings, was copied from the Etruscan technique. Although the precise method not mastered by 19th century goldsmiths a similar effect was achieved. These earrings are 24ct matt gold-plated.
