This is a wonderful vintage six-pointed star brooch adorned with a dazzling array of Paste Stones that mimic the brilliance of Diamonds, creating a mesmerising play of light.

The stones graduate in size, and the gallery is all Sterling Silver and fitted with a pin and safety catch on the reverse. It would look lovely on a lapel and is a real statement piece.

Star brooches became popular during the Victorian period as an interest in astronomy grew. Stars symbolise guidance and are seen to lead you in the direction you are meant to go.

Paste is a special type of hand-cut glass used since the 18th century to replicate Gemstones.

This fine collectable piece would be an amazing gift or a great addition to any collection.
