  • Robert Phillips (1810-1881) was one of England's foremost revivialist jewellers and had close links with both Giuliano and Castellani. His stand at the 1867 Paris Exhibition was noted for its jewels set with coral and in 1870, he was decorated by the King of Naples for his support of the coral trade.
