Edwardian Silver Paste Brooch Pin

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Corvidae Antique
Description

A truly beautiful little brooch in solid silver set with myriad sparkling paste gemstones. The central stone has a slight peachy tone, like a pale peach sapphire or light citrine, surrounded by old-cut white pastes, graduated in size and all well-matched in colour. A timeless little piece which looks fantastic on a dark jacket or dress!

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: 2.5 x 2.1cm.

WEIGHT: 6.4g.

MATERIALS: Silver, paste gemstones.

HALLMARKS/STAMPS: None found.

CONDITION: Very good antique condition; a little dark patina on the back.

ERA: Estimated Edwardian (c.1910s).

Declaration

Corvidae Antique has dated this Edwardian Silver Paste Brooch to the Edwardian era.

FAQs

An Edwardian paste brooch is a decorative jewellery piece created during the early 20th century featuring cut leaded-glass stones set in metal, designed to simulate the dispersion and sparkle of diamonds.

Antique paste items were crafted using dense lead glass containing high crystal content, mounted into sterling silver, silver-topped gold, or base metal settings often backed with metallic foil.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut faceted glass, closed-back or foil-backed settings with characteristic darkening over time, and refined metalwork typical of early 1900s manufacturing techniques.

An antique brooch can be affixed to a tailored coat lapel, secured at the neckline of a blouse, fastened to a silk scarf, or attached to a fabric evening clutch.

Paste jewellery must be kept away from water and liquids to avoid damaging the underlying metallic foil, requiring gentle dusting with a clean, dry microfibre cloth.
