No irregularities, the necklace hangs symmetrically. Fresh sheen, light surface wear, and no chipping on the glass. All pearls are intact and in place. On Glass Made to Emulate Gemstones. Glass has long been used by jewelers to simulate natural gemstones. For instance, during the Georgian era, black dot paste is a term that refers to a style of glass that was made to simulate the sparkle of natural diamonds. But in the 1940s, the use of glass to simulate gemstones ramped up more than ever before. World War II constrained both fine materials and pocketbooks, so more and more designers (including high-end designers) focused on glass to re-create the distinctive properties of different gems. High-end designers thus began making costume glass jewelry – but with the same attention to detail, high craftsmanship, and design skill that was applied to fine jewelry. The Edwardian period also known as the. Or beautiful era from 1901 – 1910 was chiefly characterized by elegant, monochromatic designs in platinum, white gold, and silver, fitted with sparkling gemstones or glass. This was a time of affluence and progress for much of the world. As the Victorian era faded, traditionally-minded designers crafted pieces that felt as classic as Victorian jewelry but had a lighter feel and often ethereal look. Designs like the négligée necklace – asymmetrical and delicate – became popular. _gsrx_vers_1436 GS 9.0.5 (1436).
