These are gorgeous Sterling Silver Electroform Earrings. These dangle/drop earrings are 1.11 inches long (a celestial number!) and feature a snap setting for comfort and security. They weigh 5.8 grams For those of you with metaphysical leanings, these earrings don't have any negative vibrations from being worn by someone else. I can't feel anything but clear silver. I think they are entirely new. Now, you're going to think I'm crazy, but these earrings seem to be smiling at me. They really do want to go to a new home. These earrings are hallmarked .925 and are crafted from sterling silver through-out the entire construction.
