Jewelry designers realized they could express more dramatic, sculptural shapes using faux gold plating and base metals than they ever could with heavy, soft 24-karat gold. Crafted using mid-to-late 20th-century hollow-core casting and premium electroplating techniques. Unlike modern fast-fashion pieces that tarnish quickly, vintage costume jewelry from this era was engineered to last, utilizing high-quality base metals heavily plated in rich, warm gold tones.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67908298768573,"sku":"JE26000100","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4818\/1181\/files\/JE26000100g.jpg?v=1792762036","url":"https:\/\/www.getluckyvintage.com\/products\/1980s-vintage-more-is-more-metallic-gold-tone-pierced-fashion-earrings","provider":"Get Lucky Vintage ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
