Vintage Sterling Mabe Pearl Cannetille Brooch

Vintage Sterling Mabe Pearl Cannetille Brooch This unique vintage brooch is a stunning example of cannetille work, a delicate jewelry-making technique that uses fine wires to create intricate, lace-like patterns. This style was popular in the early to mid-19th century and saw a revival in the mid-20th century. The brooch features a large, iridescent mabe pearl, known for its beautiful, domed shape and lustrous finish. The pearl is set within an ornate sterling silver frame, which is meticulously decorated with the cannetille wirework. This piece is a beautiful blend of organic form and detailed craftsmanship. The brooch measures 1 3/4" long by 1 1/2" wide, while the mabe pearl measures 27mm long by 15mm and is about 10mm thick.
