Antique Georgian Pink Paste Brooch Silver 18ct Gold

Details

A petite antique Georgian paste brooch beautifully preserved from the late 18^th Century. A striking reddish-pink oval cut paste takes centre stage with a halo of old cut clear pastes around the border that together simulate diamonds and a ruby. 

Paste is a heavy, transparent flint glass that has been used since ancient times to simulate the beauty of gemstones. The art of cutting paste takes expert craftsmanship and the highest quality stones are often able to replicate the cut, colour and sparkle of natural gems to near perfection.

The gallery is modelled in silver with crimped sides and features a domed 18ct gold back that has developed a lovely rosy-bronze patina with age. It’s a pretty antique treasure and has remained in excellent condition across the centuries.
