Pinchbeck, the miracle metal: true life alchemy from the Georgian Era! Pinchbeck is an incomparable alloy made to look and wear just like gold. Originally used to make 'carriage jewelry' one would travel with in order to keep their original gold pieces safe, today, antique pinchbeck is often valued comparably to other precious metals! At over 200 years old, this pair of earrings has developed a gorgeous patina that highlights their unique applied rope details and finial adornments. These earrings are lightweight, yet solid and strong. Their beautiful drop style makes an impact with its timelessly intriguing design, ready to be styled through the ages to come!
