Description

An early 19th century gold mesh bracelet. The clasp square decorated with cannetille work and set with turquoise, ruby ​​diamond and emerald.

Wars in Georgian period (1714 to1830–1837) led to shortages of precious metals and gemstones, so that jewelers and goldsmiths no longer made the heavy jewelry of the early Georgian period. The shortages led them to create the lighter, intricate Georgian gold chains and necklaces so typical of the period.

Cannetille work is a technique that developed as a result of a shortage of metals. Thin metal wires, usually gold, are coiled into various shapes, such as rosettes, beehives, pyramids and curls, sometimes welded onto thin plates. It is time consuming work and all made by hand.

England, circa 1830

Love the owner. Very strong and wise lady. Family owned shop, and she has been working there 55 years. She seems cold at the beginning but she’s really patient and friendly, allow you to try everything but never push you to make a decision. We discussed how to change the size of my ring, she had really strong and professional opinion, just listen to her , you are in good hand. Very very nice collections and you can trust their experiences.

I visited the shop June 2022. I ended up buying a lovely 1970s emerald ring. She was able to resize it that day! If I visit Amsterdam again, I will definitely stop by this store.

Perfect view of a beautiful piece of antique and always willing to provide an explanation. Never the compulsion to buy, customer friendliness and knowledge at its best! By the way, I'm not related.
