Antique Art Deco Old Cut Paste Silver Collet Bezel Set Riviere Necklace Collar
Antique Paste Bezel Set Riviere Necklace. This stunning Art Deco Paste Riviere Necklace dates to the 1920’s and features many Old Cut Paste stones in beautiful closed back Collet / Bezel settings. Paste is a type of glass which has been used since the 18th century. During the 18th and early 19th century fine Diamond and precious stone jewellery was often part of the family heirloom therefore they would have replicas made from Paste to safeguard their heritage. They would take their paste jewels to grand functions and to the party season in London where admirers wouldnt be able to know the difference. This is now why Paste jewellery is still so highly sought after, as it was made with just the same amount of highly skilled craftsmanship as antique fine precious jewellery, so much so that it has become a collectors item. Antique jewellers often set stones in closed back settings, just like this necklace. This is to allow foil backings under the Paste gems to enhance their scintillation by candlelight. This is a stunning necklace which would make the perfect gift or a great addition to any collection. Item Number – 1045.
