Item Details
Description
Pair of Antique Cut Steel & Paste Crystal Earrings Circa. 1870-1890 France
This exquisite pair of cut steel bow earrings with three large faceted oval crystal paste stones is a definite show-stopper! Only the sterling silver ear wires are a new replacement.
Cut steel earrings were popular in both the Georgian and Victorian eras. This kind of earring was labor intensive, taking weeks to make a pair. First a form was designed, in this case a bow, and then holes were placed on that form to accept the riveted steel. Here we also have paste stones, which was a rarity! Cut steel jewelry was popular for its similarity to diamonds at evening soirees. In today's day and age, this pair can be worn in both the evening and daytime.
The earrings measure 2 1/2 inches long 2 1/4 inches wide Total weight for the pair is 45.6 g. 29.3 dwt
In excellent condition
