Director’s Notes
Giuliano jewels have been loved by Royalty, Pre-Raphaelite artists, museums, connoisseurs and collectors alike. Distinctive and of unparalleled craftmanship his jewels have remained consistently collectible. When this pendant was made Giuliano had opened his own retail premises in London, at 115 Piccadilly. The shop was a treasure trove of wonderful jewels showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship for which Giuliano pieces were renowned. His jewels combined contemporary wearability of the period with the Renaissance aesthetic that he found so inspiring.
About The Maker
Giuliano
The Italian jeweller Carlo Giuliano (1831-1895) came to London in about 1860. Little biographical detail is known of him prior to this except that he very likely trained under and worked for Castellani in Rome.
