• These 14kt (585 assay value) gold earrings are crafted in the vintage Italian "Waterfall" (or "Golden Threads") style. The movable pendant artfully imitates beadwork, but is entirely made of precious metal. Each thread is composed of alternating elements: smooth gold cylinders (tubes) and microscopic gold balls, which are fixed to the finest gold wire bases. • Materials and color: The jewelry features a combination of gold. The bulk of the elements are made of classic yellow (or lemon) gold, while contrasting decorative inserts at the ends and in the center of the pendants are made of white gold. The round cut of the elements and the diamond texture of the balls make the metal shimmer intensely as it moves and catches the light, creating the illusion of the sparkle of precious stones.
