Georgian Early 1800s Cut Steel Statement Drop Antique Earrings
About the Item
These beautiful and well preserved examples of cut steel jewellery date from the early 1800s.
Condition Report:
Very Good - Some darkening to the surface of some of the cut steel panels. This is consistent with age and use and does not detract from the overall appeal of the piece.
The Details...
These earrings are created from cut steel. They feature round, highly faceted, cut steel studs and navette and teardrop cut steel panels. These cut steel studs and panels are riveted onto a steel backing to form a large-scale triangular design detailed with tassels. These earrings have their original hooks (which are most likely gold-plated), making them suitable for pierced ears. They measure 7cm x 3cm.
A Short History...
From the 1700s through to the mid 1800s, cut steel was a highly popular material in jewellery manufacture. It sparkled like diamonds, but was less expensive. It catered for a middle class of jewel enthusiast being more costly than paste. Cut steel was a particularly coveted material in French society. When Napoleon's second Empress, Marie-Louise, commissioned sets made out of cut steel, she made it very fashionable indeed.
Wear it With...
These earrings are perfect for day or evening, working as well with a blazer and jeans as they do with a floral midi-dress.
