Antique Victorian 1880s Paste Heart Necklace
Description
This delicate Victorian pendant is a charming example of late 19th-century jewellery, dating to c.1880s–1890s. It features a cluster of sparkling paste stones set into a warm brass mount, arranged in a classic floral formation designed to catch the light from every angle. This style was especially popular in the late Victorian period, prized for its brilliance and romantic appeal.
Paste jewellery played an important role in Victorian fashion. Crafted to imitate the fire and sparkle of diamonds, high-quality paste allowed jewellers to create decorative, light-filled pieces that were both beautiful and wearable. Here, the gentle patina of the brass setting adds depth and character, enhancing the pendant’s antique charm.
Suspended from a fine 9ct yellow gold chain, this petite piece is perfect for everyday wear or layering with other antique and modern necklaces, adding a subtle shimmer and period elegance.
