The Retro era was punctuated by the Great Depression and the Second World War making strength and austerity necessary virtues. This mood is reflected in retro jewelry.
These earrings’ bold simplicity and strong lines suited the bold strength of character of the age. Platinum was reserved for war-related production, so gold became the medium of choice for Retro designers, and diamonds and rubies such as these would have been a true luxury.

Crafted in 14k yellow gold, this pair of Ruby Demi-Hoop earrings feature 24 round faceted rubies and 16 white, sparkling diamonds set into white gold prongs. Perfect for everyday glamour or as the perfect statement piece!

The rubies have a combined carat weight of 3.25ct and the diamonds have a combined estimated weight of .40ct, are H to I in color, and SI1 in clarity. The earrings measure 20mm by 12mm (.80 by .50-inch). The earrings are completed by post and friction backs.
