This elegant cameo brooch of the Virgin Mary, carved in stone and framed in riveted faceted steel, is a unique jewel that combines history, craftsmanship, and fashion. Dating from around 1890, this cameo features an intricate, hand-carved classical portrait mounted in a frame composed of small pieces of steel, meticulously polished, oiled, and riveted one by one.
Faceted steel, a material that gained immense popularity in the 18th century, was an innovative alternative to diamonds. Designed to sparkle brilliantly by 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, offering a dazzling and modern brilliance 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 artistry and skill of 19th-century jewelers, who preserved and modernized these techniques. It is an ideal piece for collectors of vintage jewelry or for anyone wishing to own an object that embodies the elegance and splendor of European nobility.

What you are buying (important)
We sell antique and vintage items. These are not new or recently manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, minor losses, or variations inherent to the passage of time. These characteristics are part of their nature and are not considered defects. We recommend carefully reviewing the photographs, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm a specific detail before purchasing, please contact us.
Photos and color
The photographs are taken under artificial light. For this reason, the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is critical for you, we can send you additional photos taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the actual color.
Patina and cleaning
Many pieces develop a patina over time. We don't remove it, as it's a natural process that can take decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the piece's aesthetic value and character.
If you decide to clean or polish, do so carefully and with the material in mind. The buyer should make this decision, as cleaning can affect the appearance, authenticity, and, in some cases, the value. If you need cleaning instructions based on the material, please contact us and we'll guide you.
