Historical point : in the 18th century, the most famous cut steel jewelry workshop was located in Woodstock, near Oxford in England. The fashion for cut steel jewelry continued until the end of the 19th century in England and until 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, cut steel jewelry became the prerogative of the nobility as soon as it was decorated, thus becoming more and more sought after and expensive.

    Hair jewellery was very popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. Jewellery with compartments made it possible to keep a lock of hair of a lover or a missing person (later it will be the photograph). It can be a medallion or a ring for example.  There are also jewels made from hair, such as necklaces, chains, bracelets and rings. These hair jewels are worked like textiles: they are woven, embroidered, twisted. A whole craft industry developed around this new fashion, which lasted until the end of the 19th century.
