FAQs

Crown and coronet motifs gained widespread popularity in 19th-century Britain, symbolising loyalty to the monarchy, status, and regal elegance. These designs were produced in various forms, including brooches, stickpins, and pendants.

Paste jewellery from the Victorian period was constructed using hand-cut, high-lead content glass designed to simulate the brilliance of diamonds. These glass stones were typically hand-set into sterling silver or silver-topped gold mountings.

Authentic pieces from this period often display hand-cut facets, dark spots at the base of the stones mimicking open-culet diamonds, period-correct pin mechanisms such as C-clasps, and natural silver oxidisation on the reverse.

An antique brooch can be styled on blazer lapels, coat collars, or silk scarves to add structured detail. It can also be pinned to a velvet ribbon to wear as a choker or incorporated into modern jewellery displays.

Paste stones are often foil-backed, meaning liquid immersion can ruin the reflective backing. Clean the silver carefully using a dry polishing cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals or water near the stone settings.
