Ear wire: Matte antique silver plated base metal minimalist hook with an elegant curve. These are lead, nickel and cadmium free. Design: These abalone pendants (shell over resin) shimmer in gorgeous greens, blues, gold and purple. They measure 3/4 inch long and dangle from a matte antique silver oval ring. Length: 1 3/4 inches from top of ear wire These earrings are brand new, hand made by me in my home studio. Each pair comes with silicone ear wire stoppers as needed, and is protectively packaged and charmingly wrapped, appropriate for gifting - to someone else or to yourself! Keep your earrings looking their best by removing prior to workouts, bathing or showering, and avoid contact with chemicals, soaps or cleaning products. Remember to treat your new earrings with care - ear wires are fragile and can bend or break if dropped or smashed. Colors may vary slightly from the electronic image due to variations in device settings.
