A striking and bold 19th-century cut-steel choker, originally made as a belt fitting and now converted into a dramatic choker. The pierced latticework is densely set with faceted cut-steel studs, catching the light almost like marcasite, and is now mounted onto a wide black velvet ribbon with a simple tie fastening at the back.
Cut steel was especially fashionable in the late 18th and 19th centuries, prized for the way its polished facets imitated the sparkle of diamonds in candlelight. This conversion gives the original piece a new life while keeping the historic metalwork intact.
This is fully adjustable and measures minimum 28cm long adjustable upwards with ribbon.
Custom size adjustments and alternative fixtures available on request.
