Cannetille work was inspired by embroidery, reputedly the embroidery found in traditional peasant garments. Some sources mention 18th century Portugal or India as a source, some mention France. The simple filigree tendrils that started to appear in the fashion and jewelry world around 1820 transformed into cannetille during the following decade. One can find cannetille work from almost every European nation during the 1820s and 1830s.
Beautifully crafted, this ring boasts some amazing cannetille work, with a great ruffled collar surrounding the large orange coral cabochon stone. A true work of art, this ring has a Bohemian feel that translates so well with today's styles and trends!
