In recent years, the use of mobile Raman equipment as archaeological, artistic and conservation tool has largely increased due to the possibility to obtain quick and non-destructive compositional analysis on invaluable, unmovable, unique art objects. In particular, art and archaeological museums can take great advantage in carrying out in-situ measurements in short times and without moving the artifacts. In this work we report on the Raman measurements carried out by portable instruments on an important jewels collection dated back to 17th – 18thcentury and preserved in the Messina Regional Museum (Sicily, Italy) aiming at confirming the compositional identification of the gems and gemological materials of the collection.

Abstract

In recent years, the use of mobile Raman equipment as archaeological, artistic and conservation tool has largely increased due to the possibility to obtain quick and non-destructive compositional analysis on invaluable, unmovable, unique art objects. In particular, art and archaeological museums can take great advantage in carrying out in-situ measurements in short times and without moving the artifacts. In this work we report on the Raman measurements carried out by portable instruments on an important jewels collection dated back to 17th – 18thcentury and preserved in the Messina Regional Museum (Sicily, Italy) aiming at confirming the compositional identification of the gems and gemological materials of the collection.
