About the Item

Platinum and Yellow Gold buckle motif earrings, from the late 1940's called - Retro. They possess fine white brilliant cut diamonds, and fancy cut natural vivid red rubies. The diamonds are estimated to weigh .61 cts., near colorless and very slightly included (H, VS). The natural unheated rubies (probably from Burma) are all well matched in their vivid red color are estimated to weigh 1.0 cts. The gold brick like motif earrings, which are slightly flexible (just like a belt), are now for a non pierced ear lobe and can be converted to a pierced ear lobe. the earrings measure 7/8th of an inch long. Here is why we may be talking about the aesthetic virtues of Retro jewelry 100 years from now, and here is also why Coco Chanel would lean over to her closest friends to whisper her compliments - "fashion, dear, comes and goes, but style is forever"! and, so it is for these small American masterpiece from the late 1940's. Please note our model is a size medium to large. Today, a preponderance of jewelry is machine made in large factories around the world with abundant and obvious suspicions as to its enduring qualities using not only inferior stones, but also man made stones and treated stones utilizing artificial substances. Alternatively, these vintage retro style earrings you will not find offered elsewhere. They are well made, distinctive and with fine stones. All items sold are accompanied by a detailed Statement of Value by our gemologist, as well as all original gemological documentation, if specified in the listing. As always, we guarantee all pieces to be exactly as represented. Each piece of jewelry arrives in a gift-wrapped fine presentation box. Over the decades of our stewardship as a small but exemplary purveyor of the jeweler's art, we have strived to offer a fine and authentic selection, in excellent condition, of collectible jewels from all highly sought time periods at competitive prices. In the process, we have had the extraordinary good fortune of meeting remarkable people - some collectors, others just extremely interesting individuals who have taken the time and effort to examine their lives and select things that tend to make them smile, or admire, or just wonder at the exciting endlessly creative and nuanced panoply of jeweled artifacts.
