My husband had no way of knowing, but recently, I had promised myself that I would purchase a couple of smaller sets of earrings just for graceful casual wear, though normally I preferred larger earrings. Well, this past Christmas 2024, my husband surprised me with two sets of 18K gold earrings from The 79th-- the Twisted Athena hoops and the Dew Drop. A lovely surprise! But, The 79th? What’s that? Where’s that? Why The 79th?
It turns out that The 79th is an elegant jewelry venture envisioned by our surrogate/adopted son, Eslam.
Still, with such a stand-out name for a business as that, I needed to learn more about the name and the motivation for the business. So, I went to the website.
The website for The 79th has a treasure trove of information that will enlighten, delight, and even surprise you as a shopper, student, and/or looky-loo.
My sister, for example, is allergic to 14K gold and it has been difficult finding elegant 18K gold pieces suitable for her personality and my wallet! Not only can you find an exquisite selection of 18K gold earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and charms at The 79th, but you will find opportunities to learn about gold jewelry facts including, among other things, the differences between 14K and 18K gold.
But don’t just take it from me, see for yourself! Gold Jewelry Facts
By the way, I found out (from the website) that the 79th element on the periodic table is gold! How cleaver is that?!
