C.1870. A beautiful pair of Victorian cut steel earrings of ‘snowflake’ motif. Cut steel jewelry was introduced in the Georgian era around the mid-1700s. This particular type of jewelry is made with polished steel-faceted studs to create a beautiful, dazzling diamond effect. Cut steel was fashioned into many ornaments: jewelry, buttons, shoe buckles, etc. The finer cut steel studs date back to an older period. Throughout the Victorian age, cut steel jewelry continued to be a very popular choice of adornment. 

These earrings look spectacular when worn with their striking and bold appearance. The cut steel facets sparkle brightly. The gold ear wires are 15k gold.
