Decorative arts — C.1780-1810
Bracelet
This bracelet is made from cut steel, an innovative new technique which was popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Cut steel jewellery, such as this bracelet, is formed from a metal base plate, to which tiny, faceted steel studs are riveted. The studs catch the light in a manner similar to gemstones, which made them a less expensive alternative to diamonds.
