    I searched for 'Castellani Etruscan revival earrings', but the style is more broadly known as 'archeological revival'. The Castellanis & Carlo Giuliano, who was with them before setting up on his own, are the famous names, but the style was widely copied.

    Pieces from their workshops command big bucks today.

    Could her necklace possibly be a mirror pendant?

    It's so improbable looking, it's possibly anything.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    That technique was popular over a long period of time, from about the 1850s to the 1930s. It was invented in the 1850s. Here is some information. Besides solar enlargements, other names by which they were known were crayon portraits and crayon enlargements (although crayon was not always the material used for going over the photos).
