ABOUT THESE EARRINGS

A chic and unique pair of 1940-50s vintage retro earrings by Birks, the fine Canadian based jewelry retailer. Flowing ribbons of gleaming 14K rosy-yellow gold curl at both ends creating a whimsical spiral design accented by shining, sizable diagonally-set baguette diamonds (weighing a total of 2.00 carats), outlined by gently graduated rows of scintillating old cushion-cut diamonds, totaling 3.50 carats of fabulous flash and sparkle. The arrangement of diamonds and shape of the earrings flatter and hug the ears. Very wearable and wonderful, one-of-a-kind Retro jewels. Outfitted with adjustable pressure backs, they measure just over 1 inch by 1/2 inch.

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.
