Antique Gold Cannetille and Seed Pearl Pin Brooch

About the Item

An antique 19th century drop-shaped brooch created in 14 karat gold. The brooch is set with seven seed pearls and the surface is beautifully detailed with fine filigree and cannetille work. 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 19th century. Pearls add femininity, refinement, and sophistication to the jewelry. The Victorians adored using pearls in their jewelry as symbolic sentiments and as a sign of purity. These types of jewels represent a varied and rich historical Dutch cultural heritage, worn by women in some parts of the Netherlands in 19th and early 20th century. The brooch is in very good condition. Marked and tested as 14 karat gold. Measurements: L 2.9 x W 2.0 cm Weight: 2.95 grams We will wrap the brooch beautifully in a black and gold jewelry box.
