| Object history | The necklace for this pendant, 3-1896, was stolen in 1898. Applied shaped plaque with Carlo Giuliano's first mark, CG in monogram, which was based on the monogram of the Castellani firm. Carlo Giuliano (d. 1895), a Neapolitan by birth, worked for the Castellani firm in Italy and is thought to have been set up in business in London by Alessandro Castellani. His early work in London closely resembles Castellani's productions in the classical manner. He later evolved a distinctive style of his own, using stones and enamel to create rich polychromatic effects. |
