A gorgeous antique Victorian pendant from the late 19th Century decorated with glistening clear pastes and a larger violet paste in the centre, simulating an amethyst. 

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 fabulous open-work gallery has a typical Art Nouveau design with flowing curves and floral motifs skilfully crafted in silver. It’s in excellent condition and will look wonderful suspended from a silver chain.
