"Louis-philippe Cut Steel Pendant With Enamel "
Faceted steel pendant. This magnificent pendant depicts a young woman in a serene and thoughtful pose, surrounded by faceted steel. Faceted steel appeared in France around 1780. Its popularity can be attributed to several factors, including sumptuary laws prohibiting commoners from wearing precious metals and diamonds, as well as the various wars.
Faceted steel was designed to imitate diamonds, especially when worn at night, as candlelight reflected off the steel, creating a sparkling effect.
