{"product_id":"etruscan-revival-amphora-earrings","title":"Etruscan Revival Amphora Earrings","description":"\u003cp\u003eCharming Victorian earrings in the Etruscan Revivalist style. The 19th century was peppered with revivals: Medieval and Renaissance, Egyptian, Etruscan, Gothic, Rococo, Neoclassical, Archaeological... The Victorians loved the past, and they loved putting their own spin on things. Each of these earrings features a vibrant carved orange carnelian drop, somewhere between torpedo and amphora. They're secured in 18 carat yellow gold caps and hang from simple spheres and ear wires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Etruscan Revival movement is characterised by its elaborate use of complex designs, incorporating motifs and themes borrowed from ancient Italy and Greece (with varying degrees of accuracy). Discoveries of ancient tombs and artefacts in modern-day Tuscany, as well as the infamous Pompeii and Herculaneum, during the early decades of the 19th century captured the imaginations of the landed Brits. The intricate goldwork employed by ancient Etruscan artisans enchanted both working jewellers and the high society of the time, indeed it took decades for jewellers re-learn the techniques used by their ancient counterparts. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Victorian, circa 1870\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 4.0cm by 0.8cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStone: Carnelian Agate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 4.1 grams (pair)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarks: None, tested as 18 carat gold\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Great antique condition\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lost Heirloom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52551980286264,"sku":"PA310","price":750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/7387\/2952\/files\/Website-1246_413dad6a-3c88-4b06-b435-e7c24f65154c.jpg?v=1782479082","url":"https:\/\/lostowl.com\/products\/etruscan-revival-amphora-earrings","provider":"Lost Owl Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
