During the nineteenth century in Rome, three generations of the Castellani family created what they called “Italian archaeological jewelry,” which was inspired by the precious Etruscan, Roman, Greek, and Byzantine antiquities being excavated at the time. The Castellani jewelry consisted of finely wrought gold that was often combined with delicate and colorful mosaics, carved gemstones, or enamel. This magnificent book is the first to display and discuss the jewelry and the family behind it. International scholars discuss the life and work of the Castellani, revealing the wide-ranging aspects of the family’s artistic and cultural activities. They describe the making and marketing of the jewelry, the survey collection of all periods of Italian jewelry on display in the Castellani’s palatial store, and the Castellani’s activities in the trade of antiquities, as they sponsored excavations, and restored, dealt, and exhibited antiques. They also recount the family’s involvement in the cultural and political life of their city and country.

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Finger Rings, Greek, Etruscan, and Roman: In the Departments of Antiquities, British Museum This Catalogue of the Finger Rings, prepared by Mr. F. H. Marshall, marks in some respects a new departure in the series of Departmental publications to which it belongs. It includes not only the rings of this Department, but also those rings which, although Greek or Roman of the classical period, are for any reason to be found in other Departments of the Museum. (see note below.) A large proportion of those here described belongs to the series collected by the late Sir A. W. Franks, and bequeathed by him in 1897. In many instances these rings have designs carved either in the metal bezels or in stones set in them. These designs belong more properly to the Catalogue of Gems, in the new edition of which they will be fully dealt with. As the present Catalogue deals primarily with the types of rings, and not with the subjects of the engravings, such designs are here described as they appear on the rings and not from casts. For the same reason, no special prominence is given to the subjects (as in other volumes Of this series) by the use of Clarendon type.
