Bridge gold jewelry is an affordable, high-quality "attainable luxury" that sits between fine and costume jewelry. It typically features sterling silver or gold vermeil (gold-plated silver) combined with semi-precious stones (e.g., amethyst, garnet). It offers the look of fine jewelry at a lower price point, prioritizing design and durability over high-cost materials. These have been sitting in my jewelry box unworn. Can’t remember if the finish was like this or brighter Are they tarnished? I don’t know . I don’t remember. Earrings may appear misshapen due to background remover in some photos. Buyer responsible for cleaning/polishing etc. No returns.
