Since their rediscovery in the mid-18th century, the ruins of Pompeii have attracted travelers from all over Europe. Buried by lava and ash in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, the city offers a never-before-seen intimate insight into everyday life in Roman antiquity. Even in the 19th century, travelers from all parts of Europe made pilgrimages here in droves. The specialized cameo cutters of the Bay of Naples were quick to respond to the new clientele. They used shells, coral and lava to create popular souvenirs and mementos for travelers on the Grand Tour and later for tourists from all over Europe to commemorate their visit to Pompeii. This piece of jewelry stems from this long tradition. The bracelet features a carved cameo made of red coral at its center. The depiction shows the curly head of an athlete. An elaborate setting with finely textured leaf ornaments frames the oval carving. Voluminous C-sweeps and leaf ornaments in the typical style of Biedermeier foam gold work lead to the simple hoop on the left and right. The suspended chain with two pendulums of different lengths is a typical element of this period, but has only rarely survived. The bangle was created around 1845 and is in excellent condition. For dating, see a very similar piece in the possession of the Dortmund Museum of Art and Cultural History, illustrated in Brigitte Marquardt: Schmuck: Schmuckel. Realism and Historicism (1850-1895), Munich/Berlin 1998, p. 215.
