Lead glass was most commonly used, since the denser the material, the higher the refractive index and the greater the dispersion. Today we may think of paste as a mere simulation of more valuable natural gemstones but that was not always so in the history of jewellery. Paste was at one time an art form, since with Paste Gems, certain decorative effects could be achieved that are rarely realized with diamonds and other valuable gemstones. Paste jewellery was popular with Royalty and Aristocrats in the 18th and 19th centuries !
