Hi James, I am assuming it has the CG stamp? Based on my understanding, Giuliano didn't produce jewelry under his name until he was in the UK. I have no idea on the stamp. Perhaps one of the experts can provide some information.
It gives me "fever" Magnificent!!!!!
Hi Bluoboi, thanks for your feed back. It does indeed have the CG stamp. (in the form of C.G) I understand that there are a few slightly different variations of the CG stamp.
As for p64 ???? :)
Little bit of history: the bracelet was originally bought by the British naturalist William Caldwell as a gift for his daughter :)
Still no wiser as to p64
Hi, always happy to welcome a fine jewelry person on CW :-)
Your bracelet is very beautiful and, plus, it has an history (do you have a document about it?).
You can upload up to 4 pics by the edit item button and choose images.
It would be interesting to see the C.G mark and the mysterious P64!
Here is a decent write-up on Giuliano (which also says there is a dispute on whether he worked in the Castellani Frith shop location, though I have a box marked for Giuliano with the Frith address).

At the bottom, there are marks. It doesn't show a Carlo mark with a period in the center. James, would be great to see a photo of your mark and I will check my pieces tonight to see what the marks look like....
Hi Kyratango, New photo of p64 mark uploaded. I' will get a pi of the C.G later :)
picture.
OK, went back and looked at the marks on my Carlo pieces. Both are C.G in a cartouche, though the "period" is actually more of a "dot" raised centrally, not in-line like a period. Here is what my Sotheby's catalog says:
His early mark, a monogram of C and G within a cartouche, which preceded the better known C.G. in an oval which Giuliano registered at Goldsmiths' Hall in 1863, is remarkably similar, and has been confused with that of Castellani. This mark was used from 1863-1895. In 1896, Carlo and Arthur Giuliano entered at Goldsmiths' Hall their own C&AG mark which was used until the firm closed in 1914.
