Antique Garnet and Gold Cannetille Pendant

About the Item

A n antique 9th century gold cannetille work pendant set with a drop shaped faceted garnet stone. The cannetille work is delicately made by hand. In the Netherlands they also call these rosettes 'spiders', there is the spiders body in the center surrounded by its legs. In 19th century these types of jewelry were very popular and were widely used in the regional dress in the Netherlands. Like cannetille work, garnet gemstones were also very popular at that time. Cannetille work involves the use of thin wires of metal, usually gold, which is coiled into various shapes like rosettes, beehives, pyramids, and scrolls, sometimes welded onto thin plates. The name - which is French - comes from the art of embroidery in which silver and gold thread with a spiral twist to it was used. The pendant is in good condition and measures 30 mm in length and width 15 mm. The pendant weighs 2.55 grams. The gold has the Dutch hallmark stamped on the back of the pendant. We will wrap the pendant in a black and gold jewelry box.
