Steelpoint jewelry: In the 18th century, the most famous workshop was located in Woodstock, England, near Oxford. The fashion for steel jewelry spread to the end of the 19th century in England and to the beginning of the 20th century in France. The advantage of steel is that, when cut into facets, it can sparkle in the same way as pyrite and imitate the brilliance of a diamond.
Originally accessible to a middle-class clientele, steel jewelry became the prerogative of the nobility as soon as it adopted a particular decoration, becoming increasingly sought-after and expensive.
