Description

A wonderful chunky little crescent brooch set with beautiful sparkling old-cut and single-cut black dot pastes. The Georgians (c.1714-1837) would paint a black dot on the bottom end of paste stones (the culet) to help give an illusion of depth and make them look more like real diamonds as they glittered in the candlelight.

The piece is solid silver, backed with rose gold.

The brooch is in very good antique condition and fastens with a typical C clasp. One of the smallest end stones is not black dot and is likely a later replacement.

Size: Approximately 2.1 x 2.4cm.

Weight: 4.3g.

FAQs

Black dot paste jewellery refers to glass or crystal stones from the Georgian era featuring a small dark spot painted on the culet or foil backing to mimic the open culet of natural old-cut diamonds.

These items typically feature hand-cut glass or lead crystal paste stones, closed-back foil settings, and low-grade silver or gold-backed silver mounts.

Authentic pieces often exhibit hand-cut facets with slight irregularities, closed-back settings to preserve foil colour, hand-carved mounts, and specific ageing characteristics like natural oxidisation.

In interior contexts, such pieces are frequently displayed within glass topped display cases, framed shadow boxes, or styled on textiles. For personal wear, they can be pinned to lapels, scarves, or velvet ribbons.

Paste stones should never be submerged in water or cleaning solutions because moisture can seep behind the foil backing and ruin the reflectivity. Cleaning should be restricted to gentle dusting with a dry microfibre cloth.
