FAQs

Victorian jewellery spans the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901, marked by distinct periods including Romantic, Grand, and Aesthetic movements. Paste stones refer to high-quality lead glass hand-cut and polished to imitate precious gemstones like diamonds, amethysts, and garnets, highly valued in their own right during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Victorian brooches were typically crafted from low-carat gold, yellow gold filled materials, or gilded brass, featuring intricate hand-engraved motifs, cast metal scrollwork, and bezel-set glass paste stones secured with traditional C-clasps and tubular hinge pins.

Authenticity is determined by examining the construction techniques, such as hand-cut foil-backed or open-back stones, hand-carved metal details, patina, and period-specific fasteners like C-clasps that pre-date modern safety catches.

Historic jewellery can be displayed in custom glass shadow boxes, mounted on velvet backing within display frames, or stored in heritage jewellery boxes to add historical character to a dressing room or study.

Antique paste pieces should be kept away from water, moisture, and chemical cleaners, as moisture can damage any historic foil backings behind the stones. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth and store in a dry, temperature-controlled environment.
