Pair of 19th century yellow gold and silver earrings set with paste and amethyst, circa 1840.
Paste stones, made from glass or other materials, mimic the appearance of precious gemstones with cut facets and vibrant colours. Popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, they offered an affordable alternative to real gems in jewellery. Despite their imitation nature, paste stones are valued for their craftsmanship and decorative appeal.
