Etruscan Bead and Pearl Bracelet

ENLARGE

Etruscan civilization, established in the region of Italy now known as Tuscany, reached the height of its power during the seventh and sixth centuries B.C. Although the Etruscans spoke and wrote their own language, they left behind no comprehensive written history. Much of what is known of them comes from the remains of their material culture that were preserved in clusters of tombs. The nineteenth-century discovery of Etruscan burial grounds revealed tomb chambers abundant with wall painting, sculpture, and extraordinary examples of elegant and highly ornamented jewelry that revealed an astounding technical brilliance in goldsmithing. Tiny beads are paired with gray cultured freshwater pearls in this lovely bracelet design, adapted from a set of ancient Etruscan beads made of precious metal granules fused together dating back to 7th-6th century B.C. Produced in cooperation with the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore.

Sterling silver with gray cultured freshwater pearls. Approx. length 7 1/2 in.
