| Our cut steel earrings are silvery bright and glitter like gemstones. They turn heads as they swing gracefully with a woman's movement. Earrings of steel have unique properties. They glow in low light conditions when worn for a night on the town They are dressy enough for formal events; romantic when worn in candlelight, and yet, not too ornate to wear during the day. The art form has roots far back to the 16th century when objects were fashioned in this manner. Jewelry of cut steel, valuable from the start, came later, mostly in the late 18th and early 19th century. It's value corresponds to its rarity, beauty and the intensive work that was involved in their creation. Suggested reading is Anne Clifford "Cut Steel and Berlin Iron Jewelry" These earrings are English c. 1830. Measurements 1 3/4 in. in length; width 7/8 inch. Pristine condition. | |||||
