Cut steel jewelry and adornments have a beauty all of their own and the appreciation for these spectacular pieces continues to grow in the collectible market. Cut steel flourished towards the end of the 18th century into the early 19th century. The sparkle, shine and glimmer of the highly polished faceted steel are what made these jewels so popular. Cut steel was used in shoe clips, buckles, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, brooches, chatelaines and hair combs. Most commonly found today are the shoe clips and buckles.

These pieces are sometimes mistaken for marcasite which is iron pyrite. Unlike marcasite jewelry, cut steel studs are attached by rivets. These rivets can be seen on the back. Marcasites are mostly glued or bead set usually in silver or sterling silver.

Cut steel is not marked and no advertisements or trade catalogs have been found so dating can be imprecise. Comparison to other fashion trends and styles during a period of time can sometimes provide a clue as to when a piece was made.
