The attribution to Carlo Giuliano rests on an identical signed necklace sold by Christie's on the 20th June 1990, lot 3, which was signed with the C.G. monogram on the clasp, a mark that Giuliano registered in 1863. Giuliano's early training is believed to have taken place in Castellani's workshop, the influence of whom is readily illustrated by this necklace, its design entirely inspired by a Hellenistic necklace once in Castellani's collection and now in that of The British Museum.
