Shimmering sunshine citrines are set in decadently rich cannetille gold in this stunning brooch from the 1830s to 50s! Cannetille is a process of using thin gold wire and sheets to create designs and shapes similar to filigree work, though often more three dimensional and varied. It was a creative way to make bold, rich looking pieces of jewelry with limited amounts of gold in the late Georgian and early Victorian eras when gold was scarce. The process creates unique, intricate textures as exemplified in this exceptional brooch! Its shape is perfect for wearing as a vertical pendant, as pictured!
