Here’s an appealing mid-Victorian oddity – amethyst paste combined with 15-carat gold mounts and nine-carat joining chains.

It’s all original, except for the later nine-carat antique bolt ring.

And, though paste, it’s made to the same high standard as one would expect if the stones were real – as indeed they appear to all but the most experienced eye.

The pendant drop hanging from the centre stone adds a lovely finishing touch.
