Carlo Giuliano, an enamel and pearl necklace, late 19th century, and an unsigned gold and pearl pendant, mid 19th century, the necklace designed as a series of twisted cane links applied with black and white enamel, spaced by seed pearls, length 35cm, clasp signed CG for Carlo Giuliano, suspending a 19th century gold pendant in the Archaological Revival style, finely modelled as a cherub holding an amphora and a goblet containing a pearl, decorated with gold granulation and filigree work, length 2.3cm, unsigned, likely later added to necklace, pearls untested


Cf.: Geoffrey Munn, Castellani and Giuliano: Revivalist Jewellers of the Nineteenth Century, England, 1984, no.152, for a similar example of the candy-twist enamelled necklace, thought to be based on a 16th century example known to the Giuliano family
