PLATINUM VS GOLD
The post-war years in Europe were difficult times that were marked by restrictions. The restriction on the use of platinum particularly impacted the jewellery designer’s choices, they prefered polished and vari-coloured gold. Rose gold, because of the high percentage of copper allowed in, also became very popular. Gold was used in many ways: braided, woven and mesh patterns reappear in jewellery. Gemstones were also rare, Retro jewels were seldom set with them, and when they were, it was often semi-precious gems.
