Georgian c.1800 Cut Steel and Enamel Antique Button Earrings
About the Item
These wonderful cut steel earrings date from the Georgian era and were originally buttons.
Condition Report:
Very Good - One claw on the setting in the centre of the earring is slightly bent. This is only apparent upon very close inspection and does not detract from the appeal of the earrings.
The Details...
These earrings were made in the Georgian era and were originally buttons. They were converted into earrings in the late 1800s to early 1900s and attach to the ears with a screw-back mechanism. They feature multi-faceted cut steel studs, assembled onto a steel framework. At the centre of each earring is an emerald green enamelled cabochon detailed with silver stars and a gold Fleur de Lis motif. The cabochons are mounted in a claw setting. The diameter of each earring is 2.5cm.
A Short History...
From the late 1700s through to the late 1800s, cut steel was a highly popular material in jewellery and accessory manufacture. It sparkled like diamonds, but was less expensive. It catered for a middle class of jewel enthusiast. It was a particularly coveted material in French society with Napoleon's second Empress, Marie-Louise, commissioning sets made out of cut steel. She made it very fashionable indeed.
