Georgian Cut Steel Bee Brooch on Branch

463 Y
813 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A good example of a cut steel brooch that was made circa 1800-1820 in Birmingham. It is composed of a bee perched on a branch. It has been set with faceted cut steel. Cut steel jewellery was created from what was originally used for horseshoe nails in the 18th century. It was individually rivet set with small, individually faceted and polished steel studs, fashioned to catch the light and sparkle like the diamond cuts of that period. A lot of time was spent to create these little jewels and they are highly collectable today.

This brooch is a good example of the art
