Often crafted in polished steel or set with faceted studs designed to mimic the brilliance of diamonds, they were made to catch the light with every step. By the early 19th century, changing fashions led to their gradual disappearance from everyday dress, though their intricate workmanship ensured they endured as treasured decorative objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"782\" data-end=\"1186\"\u003eHere, a beautifully preserved example—set with steel-cut rivets—has been thoughtfully reimagined as the centerpiece of a bracelet. Suspended from a brass chain and finished with a lobster claw clasp, it retains its original sparkle while taking on a new role.
