Georgian Regency Coral Cannetille Earrings

Cannetille refers to the (presumably) near-impossible feat of constructing filigree goldwork in 3D. These earrings are a masterclass in that art, comprising eighteen impeccably worked cannetille elements arranged around vibrant red coral cabochons. They date from the Georgian Regency period, circa 1810, and remain in near-perfect condition, 200 years on. Crafted in 15 carat gold with later-added ear wires. Era: Georgian Regency Period, circa 1810 Stone: Red Coral Size: 2.9cm by 1.1cm (from tops of ear wires) Marks: None, tested as 15ct gold (ear wires are 9ct gold) Condition: Great antique condition; light wear consistent with age. Ear wires are a later addition.
