These lovely Retro earrings, circa 1940s, have a stylized 18k yellow gold ribbon motif cinched with a white gold strip of diamonds. These World War II-era earrings reflect the time they were created: the yellow gold has a faint rosy hue, a byproduct of scarce gold alloyed with more easily available copper, and few small diamonds, as more traditional colored stones were both in short supply and culturally less appropriate.
- Metal: 18K Yellow Gold
- Main Stones: 6 Single Cut Diamonds (approx. 0.09 carat total)
When visible, the Virtual Try-on button (located above the Add to Cart button) allows you to try on rings, bangles, and earrings using just your phone or computer. Other pieces—such as necklaces and brooches—are not eligible.
We do our best to make sure that scale is accurate. If the piece you're trying on has a width or length listed, the try-on experience will be as accurate as possible. Please note that the female models in the stock photos wear a size 7 ring and the gents a size 10.
Jewelry is meant to be worn but it's also an expensive ornament. Here are a few suggestions to extend the life of your jewelry:
- We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or another trusted jeweler every six months.
- You should remove your rings before swimming or performing any household cleaning, as harsh chemicals can interact with precious metals and permanently damage some stones.
- Generally, we suggest that you do not wear your jewelry to the gym, in the shower, at the pool, or while sleeping.
