These musical (because they make a light tinkling sound as you move) earrings are made of patinaed brass discs overlaid with vermeil open hoops. The discs measure about 1 1/4" across and the ear wire is a gold plate marquise so the total earring length is just about 2 1/4". There is no nickel or lead in these very light, easy to wear, softly blushing earrings.
