Gold Dipped Earring Pair Emerald Ruby and Sapphire

This gold-dipped earring pair is set with emerald, ruby and sapphire-color stones. The photos show huggie-style hoops with strips of green, red and blue stones running across the front, framed in warm gold.

Gold dipping means the skillfully crafted base metal has a finish of 5 microns or more bonded to its surface using an electric current in a gold solution, a thicker and longer-lasting layer than ordinary gold plating. The three gem colors make these earrings easy to match with jewel-tone outfits, holiday wear and Thai silk.

Thailand is well known for its gold jewelry style and craftsmanship, and gold-dipped pieces offer that classic Thai look at a more accessible cost than solid gold. Care: take them off before washing or swimming, keep perfume and lotion away, and store them in a pouch.
