Description
This pair was purchased in France. They have been polished to their original glory by our jeweler. Camera cannot capture the brilliance of the cut steel or the french jet. An elegant, but light in weight, pair of earrings.
Cut steel requires a designed metal form, usually in brass, with holes in that form which accept riveted steel Cut steel jewelry was popular in the Georgian and Victorian eras because of its similarity with diamonds. Cut steel was worn at the most glamorous evening soirees
Cut steel can be worn in both daytime and evening The earrings are as dressy or sporty as you wish them to be. They adapt to all clothing and events.....all made with intense skill and patience after long hours of labor.
Unfortunately, not many pairs survived This pair has the addition of french jet, which provides a lovely black contrast to the polished silver cut steel stones
