This necklace has many popular characteristics of the period. Paste making was an important art form used in jewels and collected by royalty all over europe. Pinchbeck, the first fine gold substitute, never loses its color and never tarnishes. It was invented by a watchmaker of the same name, who became world famous for the metal. Pinchbeck was valued highly and, therefore, the inventor kept his formula a guarded secret. Today, the true pinchbeck has become a rare collectible found in museums and in historic jewelry collections. The richest illustrations of the art of paste jewelry is in the recent book "Georgian Jewelry 1714 - 1830" written by Ginny Dawes and Olivia Collings. Page 115 has a necklace of similar design to ours. The same setting design is used for many necklaces in this book. Another lush exhibit of Georgian Paste necklaces is in the film "The Young Victorian" about Queen Victoria in her earliest days before and when she took the throne. It is opening this week, the first week in November. The jewelry is breathtaking and of marvelous quality. This neckace is 15 3/4 in. long. Each link is 1/2 inch high. It is original although at one time it was made of two like strands. As jewelry was passed from generation to generation, jewels would be divided so that two sisters or nieces would each inherit equally. Condition is fine.

The texture of the design is varied with small pin dots and curving lines. When the correct flower is discovered and pressed, it opens a mysterious secret compartment on the inner circle of the ring. The date of marriage of the original owners is engraved inside the ring clearly showing 1829. English in origin.

The earrings have movement on the ears, a feeling of femininity for one who wears them. They are not felt otherwise as they have not got a weight that imposes. Many georgian period earrings are light in weight as they were large and the availablility of gold was not endless. The ear drops are made in three sections, each of which is flexible. At the bottom spray are suspended three small floral drops, each holding a small twinkle of a diamond. The drops tremble. What we find marvelous about these earrings is that the stones are of a size that enables the owner to wear the earrings from morning to evening gala, with denim to decollete. Totally original with the exception of the ear wires which are shepherds hooks which have been flawlessly changed as style demanded. England c.1820 - 30. Length 2 1/2 lovely inches. Width 1 inch.
