Today, a preponderance of jewelry is machine made in large factories around the world with abundant and obvious suspicions as to its enduring qualities using not only inferior stones, but also man made stones and treated stones utilizing artificial substances.
Alternatively, these high karat gold retro diamond and fine lapis earrings are well made with an classic foliage motif for the ear.
