"Steel jewelry in the eighteenth and nineteenth century are rare, little known to the general public but they are very popular with collectors. This fashion which dates from the middle of the XVIIIth century, comes to us from England. In the 16th century, a city like Birmingham had forges that were unique in the world.
The tidal wave of steel jewelry will sweep France, relegating for a long time the sumptuous gold and silver ornaments at the bottom of the coffers " (Extract from the site Noblesse et Royauté).
