A beautiful antique Edwardian lavaliere necklace featuring a fabulous Art Nouveau style pendant consisting of a long, faceted dropper, a central flower and two leafy branches reaching out to join the chain. It’s decorated with glistening clear pastes and larger purple pastes, that together, simulate the beauty of diamonds and amethysts.
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 pendant and chain are both fashioned in silver and have remained in excellent condition. It dates to the early 20th Century and would be perfect for a wedding or special occasion.
