Title: Vintage French 18k Gold Earrings Citrine Estate Jewelry
Description: A pair of French vintage citrine 18k gold earrings. These bright, optimistic vintage earrings have an unusual design that makes these everyday earrings unique. The emerald cut citrine mounted in gold octagonal setting with the thick hemispheric “petals” on both sides. This setting underlines rich and deep color of the gemstones. The earrings equipped with a clip-on closure; posts can be added. These vintage French earrings are made of 18 karat yellow gold and set with an approximately 10.76-carat and 10.49-carat emerald cut citrine (15.22 x 11.80 x 8.34 mm and 15.33 x 11.72 x 8.13 mm). Measurements: ¾” x 7/8" (2 x 2.2 cm). Weight: 16.3 grams. The earrings are clip-on, thus they are perfect for non-pierced ears. Posts can be added. The earrings are stamped with AG maker's mark, French hallmark for 18k gold. Elegant, timeless and wearable, the earrings are a great addition to your jewelry collection. Vintage French jewelry is highly valued by jewelry experts and enthusiasts. Since the late Renaissance, France has been established itself as one of the world trendsetters in art and fashion. A quick look at the top 5 French jewelry designers — Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Hermes, Chaumet, Chanel — describes French level of greatness even better. What allowed France to reach such a high level in the jewelry world hierarchy? In a nutshell, it’s because of the apprenticeship system. In the beginning of 1950s in France anyone at the age 14 could start learning the craft. This way French jewelers, like no others in the world, gain a substantial portion of experience at the early age. Even non-designer jewels were produced by the high skilled masters. Modern jewelry is not handcrafted anymore, and mass market-oriented production is prevailing. Jewelry designs are streamlined to use as less hand labor as possible. That’s why today vintage French jewelry is in such high demand.
