<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ownedbybear, post: 4367501, member: 29&quot;]Paste is both specific and generic in the UK. It&#039;s now widely used to simply mean jewellery with non precious cut glass stones, diamante to be slightly fancier. But it also in antique terms means good old&nbsp; glass stones, polished with powder. There&#039;s a particular kind called black dot paste, which has a dot added to highlight the sparkle. Georgian paste, which I love, has an almost grey tinge to the stones, just as Georgian glass does. Glass didn&#039;t get that real white clarity until the recipes changed in the nineteenth century. </p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s a good amber glow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
