18 Karat Gold 1820s Indian Miniature Painting Cannetille Brooch
About the Item
A fine cannetille brooch with an Indian/Persian miniature painting in the centre. The miniature features a royal or nobleman with a hookah pipe. It is a very detailed painting with pale yet vibrant colours. The piece is in 18k yellow gold and has makers marks.
Cannetille jewellery features fine granulated gold wires and was popular in the early 19th Century. During this time gold was scarce and cannetille work required only a small amount of gold, yet it was a very skilled labor intensive work. The jewellery was also influenced by the aesthetics of the romantic period.

View AllRegard Georgian Turtle Dove Pair Brooches, ca 1820s
Located in Idar-Oberstein, DE
Rare Pair of Georgian REGARD Turtle Dove Brooches, ca. 1820s
A symbolic and museum-collectable example of acrostic jewels, featuring two doves, mounted with various gemstones, where the gems spell out "regard" - (R)uby (E)merald (G)arnet (A)methyst (R)uby (D)iamond.
The pieces are further accentuated with fine cannetille gold work throughout.
About Acrostic Jewellery and Turtle Doves
In acrostic jewels the first letter of each gemstone spells out a word. Typical examples are words of endearment like "adore", "dearest" and "regard".
The utterly romantic trend of acrostic jewels began in the Georgian era and flourished throughout the Victorian period. It is believed that acrostic jewelry was first created by Jean-Baptiste Mellerio of the House of Mellerio, who started designing jewels with gems that spelled out “j’adore.”
Napoleon Bonaparte admired Mellario’s acrostic designs and commissioned acrostic jewels for both Empress Josephine and his second wife, Empress Marie Louise.
Secret messages of love encoded in gems went perfectly with the Georgian and Victorian love of romance and symbolic meanings. These sentimental jewels would have been gifted to lovers, family members, or even treasured friends.
Further to being acrostic jewels, these doves also represent love and faithfulness, because they mate for life, work together to build nests and raise their young together. They are immortalized in literary and poetic works, such as the Old Testament, and artists like Shakespeare, Edmund Spenser...
