Got a brooch and a pair of drop earrings that are paste probably, but the stones are so sparkely what did they use to achieve this???

[Mr Veritas]

Much Victorian & Edwardian Paste jewellery had a meatallic foil set behind the (often) crystal stones.
The foil reflected the light thus making the stones appear bigger and brighter than they actually were.
