Captivating faceted steel studs glimmer and gleam in these stunning antique statement earrings! At over three inches long, these magnificent dangling earrings elegantly cascade from the ears and hang just above the shoulder. Their bold size and edgy steel studs are balanced by sensuous curves and flourishes that define their flat silver dangles which are delicately etched with soft, dotted lines along their edges and curls. Faceted steel studs, and especially smaller 'cut steel' studs, were a celebrated alternative to gemstones in the Victorian era. Their numerous facets mimic those of rose-cut diamonds that reigned supreme at the time. They similarly glisten as light dances across their surface, and when jewels are set with numerous tiny studs, they glitter like marcasite! In each of these earrings, three large steel studs boast at least fifteen facets each, bringing dynamic, reflective dimension to the otherwise flat design. Gorgeous, unique, and fantastically bold, these antique earrings are easily the defining accessory in any ensemble!
