Simple and elegant, these earrings are lovingly hand-hammered to give them their tapered shape and to catch the light. These are light enough for everyday wear, and dressy enough for a night out. These earrings are approximately 7/8" in length, and the backs are about 5/8" long. My pair of these stays put with no backs needed, but I do include plastic safety backs with your order. OPTIONS: • By default these are made with 20ga wire; if you prefer thicker 19ga or 18ga just add a note to seller to request it. Note that most people, but not everyone, can wear 18g. • Note that Sterling Silver will tarnish; Argentium and Fine silver are tarnish-resistant (though not tarnish-proof). • Note that Fine silver will stay MUCH MUCH softer than the others, and is not available in 19ga. • To request a standard ear post clutch rather than a hook - add a note to seller (not available with 19ga or 18ga, and the clutch is only available in sterling) • For a 14k gold-filled (rose or yellow) version click here: ___ • Upgraded gift Wrap, expedited shipping, shipping insurance, and more are available for a small fee - contact me! --- • TERMS AGREEMENT: To be updated shortly - if you purchase this in the interim I will send you a copy of my Terms before shipping. ***ALL INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: Read my Shipping Policies section - to be updated shortly - if you purchase this for international delivery in the interim, I will contact you to confirm details, and I reserve the right to cancel the purchase.
