These earrings are made from shiny electroplated gold cobra chain and I have put 2 strands on each earring with the longest being 9 3/4" and the shortest 7" and put them on gold plate hooks. Total length is 10 1/2". Very dramatic! I have also listed different lengths in electroplated gold and silver and other materials I will custom make you earrings to your liking. Please ask!!
