Vintage 18k Gold Jewelry We Adore

Since ancient times, gold has been on of the most desired jewelry setting materials for royalty and anyone who could afford to adorn themselves with this finery. Since the relative softness of 24k pure gold is unsuitable for jewelry, the element is usually alloyed with other metals to create a sturdier material. The mix with a base metal reduces the purity of the gold and takes the karat count down to about 18 – depending on the quantity of alloys.

At Peter Suchy Jewelers, we carry a wide variety of vintage 18k gold pieces that are simply stunning. Examples abound.

Estate Oasis Yellow Gold and Diamond Ring 

 

This cluster ring is made of 18k yellow gold. It features a sizable .25ct diamond pave top. The diamonds are full-cut. It is stamped 18k Oasis. Along the band, rope-like indentations have been crafted for an interesting look. This is a great anniversary present for the lady who adores the sparkle of gold and diamonds.

Tiffany & Co. Yellow Gold Swinging Ball Ring

 

We have dated this Tiffany & Co. creation to about 1955. Made of 18k solid yellow gold, this ring presents with a double shank design. The main focal point is a gold ball that the artisan secured to the ring’s top. Its looks are enhanced by an emerald cabochon gem. Make this ring the focal point of your jewelry ensemble. Accessorize it with emerald earrings and a matching necklace.

Folded Ribbon Gold Ring with Diamonds 

 

Designed as a cocktail ring, the setting material is 18k solid yellow gold. In appearance, the ring mimics a three-row folded yellow ribbon with a white center. This white coloration is achieved by the integration of white gold. In its center, there are 9 round full-cut diamonds that weigh in at .10cts. The view from the top and the sides are amazing. Wear this ring and be certain that it will start plenty of conversations.

Textured Green-gold Diamond Necklace 

 

When silver is used to alloy the gold, it creates a greenish-yellow appearance. This necklace features a choker and collar design of heavily textured gold with a distinct green hue. Flowers make up the design on one side while textured flora appears on the other. There are 25 round diamonds that accentuate the piece. They weigh in at 1.0cts. A stamped “F” hints at the name of the artisan although it is unclear who this unnamed genius was – with the exception of the fact that he was Italian.

Ardian Sunflower Pink Yellow Gold Earrings 

 

The pink and yellow gold coloration is stunning in the centers of these earrings. The petals appear to be made of greenish yellow gold. Held securely in place with clip posts, these earrings are beautiful.
