EDITOR'S REVIEW
This ornate, finely detailed high-carat gold and garnet cannetille parure, circa 1840, is fit for royalty. The old-world craftsmanship and goldsmithing is breathtaking, and the condition of the parure, presented in its original fitted box, is highly desirable for any serious antique collector. The set, sold by Keyamour, includes a large hair ornament, a pair of matching bracelets, a pair of earrings, a necklace and a pendant that can be worn as a brooch. The oval and pear-shaped garnets are foil-backed and accented by small seed pearls. The bracelets are made of handmade mesh links that centre around a clasp. The ear pendants are back to front in closure and convertible day to night. Although there are no marks on the suite, the set is likely from Spain.
