New refining methods made it possible to create an iron mixture that could be cast in intricate shapes. An example of this are the lacy links from which these armbands are assembled. This kind of jewellery was not reserved for special occasions, but was part of general fashion. An 1827 fashion magazine recommended combining ‘steel’ jewellery with white satin clothing.
