FAQs

Paste jewellery consists of hand-cut glass or lead crystal designed to imitate gemstones, gaining immense popularity during the Georgian and Victorian eras for high-society evening wear.

These pieces typically feature low-carat gold, silver-gilt, or sterling silver settings with individually foiled and collet-set glass stones backed by closed or open backs.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut facets with slight irregularities, aged metal patination, closed-back settings in older periods, and hand-soldered links rather than modern cast construction.

Pairing historic jewellery with minimalist modern attire creates a striking contrast, allowing the intricate metalwork and stone sparkle to serve as a focal point.

Paste jewellery should never be submerged in water or cleaning solutions, as moisture can seep behind foiled stones and cause permanent discolouration; store flat in a lined box.
