Antique Victorian Paste Lavaliere Pendant Necklace Silver

Details

A magnificent antique Victorian lavaliere necklace consisting of four silver chains that connect at the top with a new ring clasp. They’re decorated with a sparkling array of clear glass pastes that lead to a spectacular pendant at the bottom built around a large cushion cut stone in the centre haloed by zig-zagging metalwork and further pastes. 

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.   

It's an outstanding statement piece, in pristine condition and would be perfect for a glamorous occasion.
