[QUOTE="Dessert58, post: 5931301, member: 78465"][ATTACH=full]417461[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]417459[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]417460[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]417458[/ATTACH] Has anyone ever seen a hairwork brooch like this? I have had this brooch for a few months. It sat in a lot of junk jewelry and it came from the Netherlands. It has a small oak-leaf mark which marks it is 14 carat gold and the back seems to be silver. What puzzles me though is the cantille (oh my! did I spell it right this time?) :D hairwork on top of it. It IS cantille I guess? Because its not flat but domed (sorry for the bad pictures but it is SO dark during the day this time of the year) I usually find hairwork in brooches that is weaved in a flat pattern, this hairwork though almost looks like a silver cantille knot. it must have taken a good eye from someone who knew his job well to make such a 'tower' out of hair. So, have you ever seen hairwork beeing used like this?[/QUOTE]
