Carlo Giuliano

The firm of Carlo & Arthur Giuliano in London

Carlo Giuliano (1831–1895) was a goldsmith and jeweller operating in London from 1860. He started work in Naples for Alessandro Castellani and was sent to London to establish a branch of the Casa Castellani. He left Castellani's employ in the early 1860s and in turn worked for Robert Phillips, Harry Emanuel, Hunt & Roskell, and Hancocks & Co - all leading London jewellers. In 1875, he set out on his own, starting a retail outlet at 115 Piccadilly, and specialising in Renaissance-style design.^[1]

The artworks of Carlo Giuliano attracted a distinguished clientele who appreciated the beauty of refined jewelry, including King Edward VII, Queen Alexandra, and Queen Victoria. He was so familiar with Queen Alexandra that he was entrusted with the family pearls to be cleaned and remodeled.^[2]

The master craftsman signed his jewelry pieces with the identification mark "CG" (with the C upside down and connected to the G), a monogram in an oval motif similar to the two intertwined "Cs" of Castellani.
