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.

How to Wear with Care
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.
We do not sell what we cannot service. Should an issue arise, please get in touch. We offer an extensive range of repair services and are here to help!
