What is an antique finish?
A surface treatment that darkens the recesses and mutes the shine, so the metal reads older and closer to temple jewellery than a bright plated surface does. It sits better with cotton, chanderi, linen and handloom outfits, and photographs with more depth.
Are these earrings real gold?
No. Artificial fashion jewellery; not made of solid gold. The listing states gold plating and a yellow gold tone, which describes warmth of colour rather than metal grade. No purity, plating thickness or composition figure is published for this pair.
How should I clean an antique-finish piece?
With a soft dry cloth only. Polishing cloths and liquid cleaners strip an antique treatment, because the darkened recesses are exactly what a polish is designed to remove. If the pair dulls with dust, brush it gently rather than rubbing or washing it.
What should I wear these with?
Cotton, chanderi, linen and handloom outfits suit an antique finish better than shiny fabrics do, since the muted surface matches the texture of the cloth. They work for a daytime function, an office ethnic day, or a puja where heavy jewellery feels excessive.
