Gold Slinky Twist Earrings
Gold Slinky Twist Earrings
In the 1920s, when the Art Deco movement was at its peak, gold-tone costume jewelry gained popularity. However, there was a legal controversy surrounding the use of the term "gold" for non-precious metal jewelry. To bypass this, manufacturers cleverly marketed their pieces as "French gilt" or "gold-filled" to give the illusion of luxury and appeal to fashion-conscious consumers, making gold-toned costume jewelry a stylish and affordable alternative to genuine gold accessories. These slinky gold earrings are from the 1970s to 1980s.
