An enchanting Victorian pendant with turquoise cabochons that form a heart, surrounded by sparkling antique paste stones. Marked 900 silver with Victorian hallmarks, it began life as a brooch and has been thoughtfully converted into a necklace on a delicate 14k gold chain. The necklace measures 17" long.
Paste is an antique term for finely hand-cut glass stones made to mimic the look and sparkle of diamonds, and they were especially loved in Victorian jewelry for the way they caught the light.
