Description

A dainty little Art Deco brooch in the form of a long thin bar with scalloped decoration along the sides, channel set with lovely old-cut blue and white pastes.

The French jeweller Georges Frédéric Strass invented “Paste" in 1724. True paste is crafted from a special leaded glass that was painstakingly cut and then polished by hand with metal powder until it appeared to shimmer like a diamond. It was an instant success with the chic upper classes of Parisian society and continues to be highly sought after today. Nowadays paste is often used as a generic term to describe costume gemstones.

SIZE: 4 x 0.2cm.

WEIGHT: 1.4g.

MATERIALS: 935 silver - a silver fineness higher than sterling silver (925). We most often see 935 on pieces from Germany, Austria and Switzerland c.1920s-40s, which absolutely fits with this piece.

HALLMARKS/STAMPS: Stamped 935 on the back.

CONDITION: In good vintage condition; the lines of the silver frame are a little wavy throughout, rather than dead straight. Fixes with a locking rollover clasp.

ERA: Art Deco c.1930.

FAQs

Art Deco jewellery, prominent from the 1920s to the 1930s, is characterised by geometric lines, symmetry, stylised motifs, and the use of contrasting stones or metals.

Antique paste jewellery typically utilises hand-cut lead glass set into metals such as silver, sterling silver, or pinchbeck to imitate precious gemstones and diamonds.

Authentic pieces often feature period-appropriate fastenist mechanisms like c-clasps or safety roll-locks, hand-cut stones with closed backs, and traditional metal hallmarks or makers marks.

Vintage brooches can be mounted in shadow boxes, displayed on velvet ring cones, or repurposed as decorative elements on textiles and modern lapels.

Antique paste pieces should never be submerged in water or liquid jewellery cleaners, as moisture can seep behind the foil backs of the stones; instead, clean gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth.
