Vintage Flower Stud Earrings

Vintage elegance and romance, these flower stud earrings were made with the original tooling that first created them in the 50's.
They have surgical steel posts and a 14k gold plate over brass.

surgical steel posts, 14k gold plated brass, Czech crystal

Their plating is a genuine fine 24k gold. The gold is applied to a base metal (brass in this case) in a very thin layer. Gold plated jewelry is an affordable option to solid gold. You can lengthen the life of the gold layer by removing your jewelry when swimming in pools and especially the ocean. Also while exercising. Salt and chemicals break down the gold layer. Do not use a polishing cloth with chemicals to clean plated jewelry as the gold will rub right off.
