<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ownedbybear, post: 5045473, member: 29&quot;]If you could see a black dot, at the centre of the base of the cut stone, that means it&#039;s black dot paste, which is usually earlier. It enhances the look of the stone. </p><p><br /></p><p>Good explanation here: <a href="https://www.georgianjewelry.com/reference/helpful_terms" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.georgianjewelry.com/reference/helpful_terms" rel="nofollow">https://www.georgianjewelry.com/reference/helpful_terms</a></p><p><br /></p><p>On the different colours, sometimes it&#039;s simply that the glass changes colour. Or, has lost foil. You do get real stones in silver brooches, so it&#039;s worth putting a tester on them. Sometimes, the centre big stone is paste, the others real. </p><p><br /></p><p>On your pendant, by the way, that combination of yellow gold and pearls is very Edwardian. Artificial light was a thing, so the older styles, designed to show in candlelight, gave way to ones which could be seen in gas or electric light.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
