Paste jewelry is a special type of flint glass that emulates a number of gemstones. Much of the beauty and appeal of antique Paste jewelry is that it was such a difficult and on sale labor-intensive thing to produce. The special Paste glass was cut and polished by hand so that is shone and glittered.

Often Paste jewelry was set with a metal base or "foil" to improve the color and luminosity of the glass. And sometimes colored so if you wanted a romantic Ruby red or an amazing Emerald green, paste jewelry had you covered.

Paste jewelry was popular throughout the Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian eras.
