Pretty design, love the gold-leaf applied to the bottom 1/4th of the oval. Majority of the earrings are matte black, with a post back. ** All earrings are sold as-is, but I’ll include a pair of simple slide-on backs for each. No clue if they are nickel-free or hypoallergenic, but none of them are actual gold or sterling silver. Essentially, they’re all “costume jewelry” and were either purchased at Dillard’s, Charming Charlie, or a small boutique. **
