Antique Victorian Pink Paste Collar Necklace

Product Details

Dating to the mid 19th Century, this grand antique Victorian paste collar is a magnificent statement piece! Thirteen fuchsia-pink paste stones graduate in size toward the bottom and are framed by intricate cannetille metalwork and gold beading, with flower connectors in between. It’s fashioned meticulously in pinchbeck and has been given an 18ct yellow gold gilt finish.

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.

This regal Victorian paste collar is a fine example of Victorian opulence and craftsmanship. It hugs close to the neck and is held by a secure and cleverly concealed box clasp at the end that blends in seamlessly with the design.
