Rare Georgian Romantic Pendant and Earrings in Cut Steel
About the Item
A rare cut steel and porcelain pendant and earrings in the striking design of bullets and bows with rose cut steel sparkles was made in the early 19th century when candlelight only brought the sparkle and light to jewels. The painted graphite miniatures have three romantic scenes of courtly love. Under a tree a male and female sit sharing a letter, likely words of love from the man. In another the couple have a meeting in the garden, the man quietly talking and leaning toward his lady. On the third miniature, a gowned woman leans against her man, his arm around her with a lamb looking on sharing the intimate scene. It is unusual to find earrings from this period, no less earrings and a pendant that were cared for and passed on through 200 years. Measurement of earrings
2 1/4. Pendant length is 2.50.

Georgian Berlin Iron and Mirrored Cut Steel Necklace and Earring Set
Located in Narberth, PA
Berlin iron jewelry was produced in Germany by the Berlin Royal Foundry beginning in 1804. Previously, iron jewelry had been worn primarily during periods of mourning due to the dark color of its black lacquer finish. However, it reached a high point of popularity between 1813 and 1830. To fund the War of Liberation against Napolean, citizens were asked to donate their precious gold in exchange for iron jewelry. The Berlin iron jewelry was sometimes inscribed with a portrait of Frederick William III of Prussia, or with the words "Gold gab ich für Eisen" (meaning "I gave gold for iron") or "Für das Wohl des Vaterlands" ("For the welfare of our country/fatherland"). Almost overnight, Berlin iron jewelry became a symbol of patriotism. Its beautiful fabrication and lacy appearance gave it widespread appeal, eventually reaching popularity in numerous European countries. Authentic Berlin iron jewelry is now very rare, and well-preserved pieces have become very collectible!
Cut steel jewelry originated in England in the 17th century and subsequently spread throughout Europe, eventually becoming a popular style of jewelry worn by members of high society during the Victorian era. Made of polished faceted steel studs, the pieces were cut by hand and then assembled and riveted onto a metal back. The faceted steel elements give this type of jewelry a subtle, metallic glitter that resembles cut gemstones. Motifs varied from the simple to the sublime, with multiple layers and densely packed studs. The time-consuming process and the artistry required to create cut steel jewelry made it very valuable and highly sought-after during the Victorian age, particularly to wear during the stage of "secondary mourning." Produced up until the turn of the 19th century, antique cut steel jewelry is now highly collectible.
