A lovely pair of silver drop earrings set with sparkling foil-back pastes. Made by the well regarded jeweller Ciro, founded 1917 in Bond Street, London.
 
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.
