Details
This enchanting antique Victorian dropper necklace exudes femininity and grace. The necklace is made up of riviere-style bezel links and a fringe of pointed droppers that graduate in size toward the centre piece, a fabulous open-work gallery with scrolling motifs highlighted in black and white polka dot enamel. It’s all fashioned in silver and decorated with an abundance of bright natural seed pearls and foil-backed oval and pear cut paste stones with a striking red-pink hue, reminiscent of fuchsia petals.
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 captivating Victorian pink paste necklace dates to the late 19th Century and is held by a hook clap at the top. It beautifully captures the essence of Victorian artistry and opulence, with a beautiful cascade of pink pastes and pearls that drape around the neck, making a perfect statement piece for a glamorous occasion.
