Why Gold Is the Perfect Metal for Chunky Earrings
Not all metals wear the same—especially when it comes to larger earrings. Gold has always reigned supreme for its luster, value, and elegance, but it’s especially well-suited for chunky earrings.
Why We Love Working with Gold:
- Naturally hypoallergenic
- Highly malleable, allowing detailed design work
- Timeless and durable, holding its shine for generations
- Available in multiple shades: yellow, white, and rose
At Vermont Gem Lab, we ethically source all our gold and also offer recycled and reclaimed options for those who prioritize sustainability.
