Georgian Cut Steel Star Brooch

A twinkly antique star brooch formed of tiny faceted cut steels.

Cut-steel jewellery is made from tightly packed steel studs riveted to a metal baseplate in a hugely time-consuming process. The finished effect was designed to reflect the light back from all the tiny faceted surfaces, making the jewellery sparkle like rose-cut diamonds in the 19th century candlelight.
