Antique Victorian Purple Paste Riviere Collar Necklace Silver

Antique Victorian Purple Paste Riviere Collar Necklace Silver

A grand antique Victorian paste riviere collar necklace, decorated with twenty-four purple paste stones that graduate in size toward the bottom. Their deep-violet hue perfectly imitates the beauty of an amethyst, and each is held in a silver claw frame, with a secure box clasp at the end.

Paste is a heavy, transparent flint glass that has been used since ancient times to simulate the beauty of gemstones. The art of cutting paste takes expert craftsmanship and the highest quality stones are often able to replicate the cut, colour and sparkle of natural gems to near perfection. 


This is a regal antique Victorian collar, dating to the late 19th Century and has all remained in excellent condition.
