A stunning pendant from the Regency period, c1830s. The pendant is made from solid 15ct gold and exhibits wonderful cannetille work. Cannetille is an intricate work using gold wire and thin sheets wrapped in coils and rosettes creating a mildly 3D effect. This is a lovely example with the cannetille in beautiful condition.
The pendant has a pretty soft pink topaz set at the centre in an east/west setting and a pear shaped chrysoberyl in the lower drop. This combination of gemstones is fairly common during this period and the soft pink and lime green/yellow work perfectly together. This particular pendant is an elegant size making it very wearable and looks very pretty on the neck.
The chain pictured is for display only.
Details:
Materials - 15ct Gold (tested), Pink Topaz, Chrysoberyl
Age - Regency, c1830s
Size - The pendant measures approx 27mm long excluding the bail, by around 24mm wide.
Condition - Excellent. The cannetille is in especially lovely condition. There is a chip to the right hand side of the topaz, beneath a claw; this is only visible through magnification. The bail is likely a replacement and has a solder join, noted for accuracy only.
