{"product_id":"circa-1770s-georgian-black-dot-paste-brooch","title":"Circa 1750's Portuguese Rock Crystal \u0026 Black Dot Paste Necklace","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis antique Georgian Rock Crystal brooch, a survivor from two centuries ago, was once part of a larger suite of jewellery or perhaps a stomacher. Fashioned as a pair of torchon or cornucopia, it \u003cspan\u003ecaptures a glamorous moment in history, when splendid hand crafted Crystal and Paste jewels were worn at the grandest of occasions. Each of the gems are cut by hand to fit this adorable piece, the stones are backed with silver foil to increase the sparkle and 'black' dotted on the bottom to create the illusion of a 'culet' commonly seen on Diamonds at the time, and they have an immensely affecting glitter, warm and twinkling as if by candlelight. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt features the original pin to the reverse and has places to hang it as a necklet or suspend the drop and so can be worn either as is or in several ways; a beautifully historic favourite jewel. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith Rock Crystals to the brooch section, and Paste stones to the drop, it may be a 'marriage' but all in keeping with the time. All in silver which we have only gently cleaned so as not to spoil the patina, there is one chipped stone which can be seen in the top section leaf motif bottom right. \u003c\/span\u003eWith a little imagination this historic jewel could live again. Measures 4cm end to end and downwards. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fetheray","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":15923352764467,"sku":"#0732\/HB","price":895.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/4559\/files\/0732hb-antique-portuguese-rock-crystal-and-black-dot-paste-necklace-01.jpg?v=1758893048","url":"https:\/\/www.fetheray.mom\/products\/circa-1770s-georgian-black-dot-paste-brooch","provider":"Fetheray","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
