Paste stones are made from highly refractive leaded glass but paste jewels were not considered counterfeit jewelry. It was made to achieve certain decorative effects which were rarely realized with diamonds and other precious stones. In the absence of the high cost of materials, paste artisan skills were often developed and extended much further than those of diamond workers.
