ANTIQUE GEORGIAN PINK PASTE
Circa 1800
Steeped in English history and lovely detail all round.
The lovely pink paste stones have a beautiful saturation
which in turn give a magnificent hue.
Paste is a heavy, very transparent flint glass that simulates
the fire and brilliance of gemstones because it has relatively
high indices of refraction and strong dispersion.
From a very early period the imitation of gems was attempted.
The Romans in particular were very skilful in the production
of coloured-glass pastes.
Each paste is in a closed backed gold setting which is all silver.
The clasp has pink paste set into this fabulous necklace
too, both original to the necklace.
The old 825 stamp is stamped on the box fastener.
Look stunning when worn.
Perfect for a wedding.
It weighs 34.4 grams
Measures 15 3/4 inches inches around the neck
The drop measure's 2 inches.
In Excellent condition.
