DESCRIPTION
A stunning statement piece featuring a golden yellow paste stone set in 925 sterling silver.
Paste stones were used in the 18th and 19th centuries as hand cut glass stones made to mimic the look of fine jewelry. Some early paste stones were cut from colored quartz. As the new cut crystal stones became more common, paste stones were primarily used to imitate diamonds and many have a small black dot on the center underside to imitate the style of diamond cutting found during that era.
Paste jewelry has become extremely valuable, This beautiful golden Pendant would make the perfect addition to you collection.
