Gold is a wonderful gift for Mother’s Day and any other special occasion. It bespeaks feelings of worth, affection and genuine love. While today’s gold jewelry is usually polished and therefore can lack the personal touches that many collectors value so highly, vintage pieces frequently stand out because of the hand-texturing expert jewelers performed during manufacture. Sometimes, these pieces act as settings for gemstones. At other times, they impress with their beauty and only feature the treated gold. Peter Suchy Jewelers have put together the must-see pieces that fall into this category.

This necklace features hand-textured graduated circles. The overall length of the piece is 17 ¼ inches. The circles connect via hinges. The necklace looks beautiful.

Italian artisans used 18k yellow gold to create these earrings. The texturing features varying depths, which add to the beauty of the pieces. The curved top makes them ideal for wear on the ears.
