These vintage Retro gold earrings are crafted in 18k yellow gold, weigh 10.8g and measure 5cm long, 16mm wide and 12mm deep. Amongst other items of jewelry, the repertoire of Retro gold earrings produced during the postwar Retro era encompassed extensive variety of designs and innumerable sources of inspiration. The geometrical, massive jewels of the preceding two decades were replaced in the 1940's by more naturalistic designs and with a new interest in classical patterns of Archaeological Revival. Gold continued to be the preferred metal par excellence, applied in all its shades of color: white, gray, yellow, green, pink and red and was worked with in all possible ways, tied as ribbons and twisted as corded wire. These alluring vintage Retro gold earrings combine the Egyptian and the Etruscan Revival impacts in the form of an 'inverted pyramid' and an alluring globular profile respectively, creating a delightful and unusual pair of earrings of ornamental and collectible significance. Outfitted with a captivating version of shepherd's hooks, these avant-garde Retro gold earrings are designed exclusively for pierced ears.
