A good example of a pair of cut steel earrings with arrow shaped drops. They were made circa 1800-1820. The basic design of cut steel jewellery is a thin metal baseplate onto which closely placed steel studs were riveted, which was an unbelievably time consuming operation. The baseplate could be made from various metals such as brass, tin or silver alloys.
