Resembling a finely woven fabric, this wide Victorian mesh bracelet features meticulous cannetille work. Months of intricate and precise goldsmithing were required to produce the thousands of scrolls on each flower.

From the Antique Jewelry University: Early Examples of Cannetille
In Moscow’s Hermitage, there is a silver toilet service from the collection of Catherine the Great which was made around 1740-1750 in China (possibly from Canton). Although it mainly features filigree work, the piece shows early signs of cannetille decorations. In particular, it features a delicate spider web “over stitching” around a small stamped circular dome, a design that would become popular later in the 19th century.
