An 18th century Georgian cut steel bangle with cut steel tassel circa 1770.
Cut steel jewellery is a decorative art form that became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, especially in Europe. It features tiny, faceted steel studs riveted onto a base plate to mimic the sparkle of gemstones. Craftsmen hand-cut each stud to catch and reflect light, creating a glittering, diamond-like effect.
Cut steel pieces were often used for brooches, buckles, earrings, and hair ornaments, prized for their durability and brilliance. This jewellery offered an affordable alternative to precious stones during times of economic hardship.
Today, antique cut steel jewellery is highly collectible, valued for its intricate craftsmanship and historical charm.
