These elaborate drop earrings are made from cut-steel, which was a novelty material in the early 18th Century. The centuries have given these earrings a darkened, almost gun-metal appearance, but they would have originally been bright silvery in colour. The riveted facets would therefore create a bright sparkle, faintly mirroring the appearance of diamonds. 

The tops are set with tiny riveted steel studs, which were drilled into the setting, while the bow-shape bottoms were cast with the studs already present.
