SOLD - Georgian 14ct Gold & Sterling Silver, Black Dot Paste, Lavaliere Necklace


Exquisite, Georgian black dot paste necklace, featuring a central section measuring 12.5 x 3cm, designed with a central 5mm paste and two, 3.5mm paste, flanked by a foliate and scroll garland connected to a later curb link chain. This beautiful necklace is complete with an "en tremblant" (moving in a trembling style) pear-shaped drop.

Each of these charming paste stones are mounted in a silver crimped setting with a foil back and rose gold mount. The large paste stones exhibit a clear black dot on the culet, the black dot was hand painted on the very bottom underside of the stone. In setting the paste, often pitch or similar sticky material was utilized to anchor the stone during setting. This black then shows through. It is thought to have mimicked the open culet of early diamond cuts

Highly collectable, this romantic necklace has all of the original paste stones.
