Antique silver, rose and green gold earrings made in the 1890’s
These earrings are just divine and are sure to always be admired and commented on. Dating from the late 1800's, these earrings are made in sterling silver and highlighted with both rose and green gold. Gold can be alloyed with other precious metals resulting in different colours being produced. Rose gold is made by primarily adding copper to the gold when being alloyed resulting in the lovely warm tone to it, and today green gold is made by adding silver to the gold, however the green colour is more a soft green-yellow colour. Years ago cadmium was added resulting in a stronger colour, and while never a strong green such as yellow or white gold, the tone of green in antique pieces is more pronounced and is used perfectly here to highlight the leaves. The combination of both rose and green gold set against the silver really makes these earrings stand out and measuring 13.7mm across by 20.7mm or 34.4mm to the top of the new sterling silver shepherd hooks that have been put on, these earrings sit so well just below the earlobe and are so comfortable to wear during the day and well into the evening. No matter the occasion, these antique earrings are just divine. Stock# ES8655 Circa: 1890 $1,450
