About This Piece
These reproduction pieces were inspired by the paste rhinestone jewelry common in the 1700s and early 1800s. Examples appear in the portraits "Mrs. George Turner" by John Singleton Copley (1767), "Einer Prinzessin zu Schleswig-Holstein" by Johann Peter Krafft (1817), and "Wilhelmina Jacoba van Pembroek" by Charles Howard Hodges (1820). More such pieces can be seen in the book "Georgian Jewelry 1714-1830" by Ginny Redington Dawes and Olivia Collings.
