Leon Edwardian French Paste Locket

$875

This one-of-a-kind necklace is composed of:

  • Edwardian, sterling sliver french paste locket from the early 1900s with a magnifying glass pane on the front and a hinged glass frame on the back. The setting of this locket is delicately lined with crystal rhinestones. This pendant was sourced in England.

THE HISTORY:

French paste is a jewelry term used to describe the practice of using faceted cut glass, cut in the shape of a real gemstone, instead of using real gems. This process, which was developed in the 1700's, created the look of a sparkling gemstone or diamond but cost much less than real stones.
