A beautiful antique lavaliere necklace from the early 1900s featuring a fabulous floral gallery consisting of loops and flowers. They’re encrusted with twinkling suffragette colours, such as white, green, and pink pastes, with larger pear-cut paste droppers dangling in the centre and from the bottom.
Paste is a heavy, transparent flint glass used since ancient times to simulate the beauty of gemstones. The art of cutting paste requires expert craftsmanship, and the highest-quality stones are often able to replicate the cut, colour, and sparkle of natural gems to near perfection.
The open gallery is crafted in silver. It remains in excellent condition and beautifully captures the style and glamour of a time aptly known as the “Beautiful Era.”
This stunning piece, would make the perfect gift or a great addition to any collection.
