Description

This pretty little sparkling antique pendant started out as part of a bigger piece of jewellery, likely a large necklace, and has at some time been converted to a very wearable piece which can be hung on a chain or ribbon.

The pendant is solid silver, set with beautiful old foil-backed black dot paste, mainly cushion cuts around a central round stone. 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.

In very good antique condition, with a little wear to the paste facets. There is a small hole in the back, likely from the piece's original jewellery form.

Size: Approximately 1.7cm diameter, 2.3cm including the bail.

Weight: 2.8g.

We currently have a number of lovely Georgian pieces just in (see final photo) which are being added to the shop, see our other listings for more details :)

FAQs

Georgian paste jewellery consists of hand-cut lead glass designed to imitate gemstones, highly prized during the 18th and early 19th centuries for its intricate craftsmanship and distinct optical qualities.

Pieces from this era typically feature hand-faceted glass paste set in silver foil-backed settings, often mounted in open or closed back collets crafted from silver or gold.

Authentic items often show characteristics such as closed-back settings, foil linings to enhance reflectivity, hand-cut facets with irregular proportions, and the signature dark inclusion known as a black dot.

While primarily worn as personal adornment, such pieces can be displayed within antique display cases, curio cabinets, or shadow boxes as focal points of historical interest.

Due to the presence of foil backings and softer glass materials, these items must be kept strictly away from water and harsh chemicals, requiring gentle dusting with a soft, dry cloth.
