This elegant Virgin Mary cameo brooch, carved from stone and framed in riveted faceted steel, is a unique jewel that combines history, craftsmanship and fashion. Dating back to around 1890, this cameo features an intricate, hand-carved classical portrait, mounted in a frame made up of small steel pieces that are meticulously polished, oiled and riveted one by one.
Faceted steel, a material that became very popular in the 18th century, was an innovative alternative to diamonds. Designed to sparkle brightly under candlelight or at evening events, these pieces created a luminous effect that made them irresistible to the nobility of the time. This brooch perfectly reflects that tradition, providing a dazzling and sophisticated shine that continues to captivate today.
Originating in England, where the most prestigious steel-cutting workshops were located between 1760 and 1800, this type of jewelry was appreciated for its meticulous craftsmanship.
This brooch is a testament to the art and skill of 19th century jewellers who preserved and renewed these techniques. It is an ideal piece for collectors of period jewellery or for those wishing to own an object that encapsulates the elegance and splendour of European nobility.
