Antique Georgian drop earrings
$11,800.00
Here are a magnificent pair of cannetille earrings that date from the Georgian period of the 1820’s. Cannetille work was very popular in the early 1800’s and is where very fine gold wire work is soldered onto the piece of jewellery in more of a three dimensional work as opposed to filigree work which was more with piercing the gold or silver.
And in these earrings, the cannetille work is nothing short of exceptional. Made in 18 carat yellow gold, the fine detail is made even more astonishing when you consider that these were made 200 years ago and still look as spectacular and regal as ever.
Measuring a very impressive 79.5mm from the bottom to the top of the hooks, they measure 16.7mm wide at the base, and these earrings will have any woman feeling like royalty when they are being worn.
These are truly amazing and are sure to become a much loved and treasured family heirloom.
