FAQs

Victorian paste jewellery features hand-cut lead glass stones designed to imitate fine gemstones like diamonds, set meticulously into precious metals such as silver or gold.

These pieces frequently utilised sterling silver, pinchbeck, or low-karat gold combined with glass paste, marcasite, and small rubies or garnets for accent details.

Authentic pieces often exhibit closed-back settings, foil-backed stones, hand-cut facets with slight irregularities, and natural metal oxidisation consistent with age.

These pendants can be worn individually on a simple chain to create a subtle focal point or layered with contemporary fine chains for a collected look.

Clean gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid jewellery dips or ultrasonic cleaners which can loosen foil-backed stones or damage historic settings.
