These earrings are handmade to order. The glass has been tumbled in sand to give it that frosted sea glass look and feel. They are lightweight. The metal is silver plated over brass (lead and nickel free). They measure 2 1/2" from the top of the ear wire (please see pic on the life-size model, and next to the quarter and the ruler for size reference). They will come in a gift box like the pic shipped with 1st class USPS within 2 business days.
