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.

Learn more: How does a compass work? A moving needle inside the compass reacts to a magnet, the Earth. Indeed, as our planet contains a lot of iron, it is magnetic, and the small moving needle inside the compass uses this to indicate the north-south direction. However, this only works if there are no other magnets near the compass. Note that the needle of a magnetic steel compass always points approximately north.
