Description

A very pretty Georgian silver paste pendant which could be hung on a chain or ribbon. The piece is solid silver, set with beautiful old-cut foiled pastes which are very white and sparkly.

Diamonds and paste (crystal) were usually foil-backed up till the mid-19th century to make them reflect the candlelight better. Brilliant cut gemstones didn't appear until later and the old cuts didn't sparkle as much as modern stones so it gave them a little help.

SIZE: 4.3 x 1cm.

WEIGHT: 4.2g.

MATERIALS: 925 sterling silver, paste gemstones.

HALLMARKS/STAMPS: None. The metal tests as sterling silver.

CONDITION: Excellent antique condition; when seen under magnification there is minor surface wear to the pastes, as you'd expect with a piece of this age, but no chips or cracks.

ERA: Georgian (c.1714-1837).

FAQs

Georgian paste jewellery consists of hand-cut lead glass designed to imitate gemstones, highly prized in the 18th century for its exceptional brilliance and intricate silver settings.

These pieces were typically crafted using sterling silver, often backed with gold or foil, combined with hand-facetted high-lead glass known as paste.

Authentic pieces often feature closed-back settings, hand-cut stones with slightly irregular facets, hand-wrought silver work, and natural oxidisation appropriate for the 18th century.

Antique paste pendants can be suspended from a modern or period silver chain, worn layered with other historic pieces, or displayed as a focal point on a simple velvet ribbon.

Paste jewellery should never be submerged in water or cleaned with harsh chemicals, as moisture can seep behind the foil backings; instead, use a soft, dry cloth for gentle dusting.
