Georgian Silver & Gold Wash Back Trefoil Necklace set with Paste

645U
120 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A rare silver and paste necklace that was made circa 1820. At that time coloured and colourless paste were very popular as they imitated the more expensive diamonds, sapphires and emeralds and could be worn at fashionable venues with confidence as they looked like the real thing.  This necklace is composed of sixteen lucky clovers that have been pinched collet set with colourless pastes with a black spot on the foiling at the back to imitate the culet on an old mine cut diamond.  The reverse has been lightly gilded. Gold rings join each section and some links have been added to extend it at some point.  There is a hidden tongue clasp behind one of the clovers. When worn in a candlelit setting this necklace would have looked simply stunning and would still look amazing when worn with todays fashions and settings.
