Antique 14 Karat Gold Pearl and Tassel Cannetille Brooch

About the Item

An antique cannetille brooch created in 14 karat yellow gold. The brooch is embellished with a texture of firm and fine lacy spiral gold thread and beading. Between the spiral cannetille knots, two seed pearls are placed and a gold spiral wire in the shape of a horn. This horn theme is called 'cornucopia' - which means abundance. Below the top six tassels are hung and swing freely. Cannetille typically features fine gold wires or thinly hammered sheets. Jewelry with cannetille was very popular in the 1900's, especially in the 1820's and 1830's. Motifs included tendrils, scrolls, coils, beehives and spider-like rosette ornaments. Like cannetille, seed pearls reached the height of popularity in the Victorian Era. Pearls add femininity, refinement, and sophistication to the jewelry. The Victorians adored using jewelry as symbolic sentiments and as a sign of purity. The brooch is in very good condition and of high quality. It measures 22 millimeters in height (included foxtail 33 mm) and 31 millimeters wide. The brooch has a nice heavy weight of 5.3 grams. Marked and tested as 14 karat gold. We will wrap the brooch beautifully in a black and gold jewelry box.
