A quite fantastic late Georgian / early Victorian (ca. 1830-1840) cannetille brooch testing at 20 carat gold. The cannetille work is extremely well done with everything having been crafted by hand into a leaf and ribbon pattern. The central amethyst weighs an estimated 11 carats (measuring 18 x 13.5 x 7.88 mm) and is an old cut gemstone with lots of character as a result.
The brooch is in excellent condition with only light signs of wear but there is one leaf element missing (price reduced as a result). Original pin and clasp to the reverse but I would see this making a pretty unique pendant if converted as it is the perfect size
Weight: 8.16 grams
