Carlo Giuliano (1831-1895) was an Italian goldsmith who moved to London with his wife and two sons circa 1860. Working for Castellani in Rome he originally moved to London with the aim of establishing a branch of Castellani. Not long after he parted ways with Castellani and established his own workshop on Frith Street, where his predominantly revivalist jewellery was created. In these earlier years, Giuliano�s jewels were outsourced to various retailers in London�s West End. Length 6.5cm / 2�''
