Renaissance Revivel Schmuck – waren Nachbildungen ägyptischer, etruskischer, griechischer und römischer Arbeiten - ausgeführt in der typischen Feingoldfarbe.
In den 1820er Jahren erforscht Castellani in Zusammenarbeit mit dem namhaften Archäologen Michelangelo Caetini, Herzog von Sermoneta, die meisterhaften antiken Schmucktechniken. Stark beeinflusst durch die antiken Entwürfe, verschreibt er sich der Wiederbelebung alter Techniken. Castellani ist bekannt für sein umfängliches Wissen und seine Fachkenntnis über Granulation, Mikromosaik, Steinschnitt, Gravur- und Emailkunst. Er erfindet neue Techniken, um die archäologischen Stücke zu imitieren und in gleicher Qualität herzustellen. Oft verwendet er alte Steine, etwa antike Skarabäen.
Es gelingt ihm sogar die identische Goldfarbe durch chemische Einflussnahme zu fixieren. Seine Granulationstechnik kommt nahe an die etruskische heran und macht weltweit Furore.
Von 1848 bis 1858 bleibt die Werkstatt in Rom wegen politischer Unruhen geschlossen. Castellanis Söhne Alessandro und Augusto, die 1851 das Juweliergeschäft übernehmen, befinden sich im Exil in London und Paris, wo sie die archäologischen Schmuckstücke mit großem Erfolg vermarkten.
In Rom öffnen sie das Geschäft 1858 wieder und übernehmen Staatsaufträge, etwa die königlichen Insignien für Viktor Emmanuel den II. von Italien, aber auch Geschenke der Königlichen Familie.
Prinz Albert , Napoleon III. und die Aristokratie gehört zu ihren Kunden, denn kaum ein Besucher des 19. Jahrhunderts verlässt Rom, ohne eines der berühmten italienischen archäologischen Schmuckstücke im Castellani Laden, an der spanischen Treppe erworben zu haben.

Necklace, earpendants, rings and cuff in gold - which was very fashion in time, the jewellery based on classical forms, worked with special granulation and filigree techniques, and inspired by archaeological finds, bring fame to the Roman jeweller Castellani in the 19th century.He builds up an elite clientele including Napoleon III and Prince Albert
Jewellery created in the styles of the ancient Etruscans, Romans, Egyptians, Byzantine and Greeks of the 9th to the 4th centuries BC. With the archaeological excavations of the 19th century, such as Pompeii, Herculaneum, various temples and pharaohs‘ tombs, old craftsmanship, ancient techniques and the aesthetic of these antique pieces become accessible to the public.
Renaissance Revivel jewelry - were replicas of Egyptian, Etruscan, Greek and Roman work - executed in the typical fine gold color.
In the 1820s, in collaboration with the renowned archaeologist Michelangelo Caetini, Duke of Sermoneta, Castellani researched the masterful techniques of ancient jewelry. Heavily influenced by antique designs, he dedicates himself to reviving old techniques. Castellani is known for his extensive knowledge and expertise in granulation, micromosaic, stone carving, engraving and enamelling. He invents new techniques to imitate the archaeological pieces and produce them with the same quality. He often uses old stones, such as antique scarabs.
He even succeeds in fixing the identical gold color through chemical influence. His granulation technique comes close to the Etruscan and caused a sensation worldwide.
From 1848 to 1858 the workshop in Rome was closed due to political unrest. Castellani's sons Alessandro and Augusto, who took over the jewelry business in 1851, found themselves in exile in London and Paris, where they marketed the archaeological jewelry with great success.
They reopened the shop in Rome in 1858 and took on state commissions, such as the royal insignia for Victor Emmanuel II of Italy, but also gifts from the royal family.
Prince Albert , Napoleon III and the aristocracy are among their customers, as hardly a visitor to the 19th century leaves Rome without having picked up one of the famous Italian archaeological gems in the Castellani shop on the Spanish Steps.
Her three daughters received First Class Badges of the Orders of Victoria and Albert on their Confirmation, Princess Alice, Princess Victoria and Princess Helena, to mark the confirmation
of their eldest daughter, the Princess Royal, in 1856, Queen Victoria
and Prince Albert presented her with a cameo showing their jugate heads
derived from the 1851 Great Exhibition medal by William Wyon. The cameo
was surrounded by diamonds and surmounted by a crown, to be worn as an
order pinned to a white moiré ribbon. This gift was repeated upon the
occasion of Princess Alice’s confirmation three years later. The badges
supplied by Garrards were furnished with cameos cut by Tommaso Saulini,
apparently commissioned through John Gibson, the Rome-based sculptor of
whom the Queen and Prince were patrons. While no evidence has yet been
found to confirm it, the likelihood is that the design of the badges was
the Prince’s.
