Georgian Paste Double Drop Earrings

15G
411 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A pretty pair of double drop white paste earrings set in gold. They are late Georgian, circa 1800-1820. They display the black spot at the back of the settings. This was done on purpose to give the impression that they were diamonds by cutting through the back of the foil to create a culet. This literally means that a diamond has been cut off at its point (the culet) so the paste imitation appears to be the same by doing this trick.
