ABOUT THESE EARRINGS

From the fabulous '40s, these chic Retro earrings feature trios of absolutely gemmy (because they're synthetic*) vibrant crystalline cherry-red cabochon rubies, accented with swooshes of gleaming calibre rubies (also synthetic), and centered with sparkling leaves set with bright-white old mine-cut diamonds. Artfully hand fabricated in lustrous 18K yellow and white gold. *Back in the day, circa early-to-mid 20th century, due to their color consistency and flawless clarity, synthetic colored stones were considered a modern improvement over their natural counterparts, their virtually undetectable differences discernible only withj a microscope.

About Retro Jewelry

Hollywood glam got creative during the war era, when strategic factors forced jewelers to do without certain materials. Rather than scale back, they took the streamlined shapes of the Art Deco and went big, bold, and gold with them! Retro power pieces segued from the Jazz Age to the Fabulous Fifties, creating many motifs of vintage jewelry along the way.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
