Antique paste refers to a type of jewellery that features simulated gemstones made of leaded glass or crystal. These simulated stones were created to imitate the appearance of precious gemstones such as diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, and rubies. Today, antique paste jewellery is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of vintage and period jewellery.

Suspended from 9ct gold wires, this remarkable pair of antique treasures evokes the elegance of a bygone era.
