This earlier period of steel is notable for the facetted studs being rivetted on a steel backplate of polished steel.
A craze for cut steel jewels and 'toys'(buckles, chatelaines, buttons) swept Europe at the end of the c18th utilising tiny pieces of steel, facetted and highly polished to imitate the scintillation of diamonds especially by candlelight.
