Paste, the original rhinestone, dates back to the 1720s. The technique was developed by King Louis XV's court jeweler and was instantly popular with royalty and aristocrats for over a century thereafter. While we view rhinestones as a kind of faux gemstone, paste was highly regarded as an exciting new art form. They're highly-sparkling 'stones' with an intriguing history! 

This necklace was made towards the beginning of the Art-Deco era, featuring a single row of square-cut paste stones towards the front, set almost invisibly in sterling silver, and carved at the reverse. 3 faceted Rock Crystal dangles take centerstage, perfectly graduated in size, with the biggest stone sitting at the center. Their large tables create a fiery play-of-light, ready to adorn your neckline and brighten up any day! Get ready to garner all the healing and energetic properties associated with rock crystal while looking uber-fabulous!
