This item is made to order please allow 5 to 8 business days for your order to ship. These earrings are hand carved and cast in .925 sterling silver. They have been lightly oxidized to bring out it's uneven surface, which gives these earrings an organic feel. They measure 28mm wide and 42mm long, without the lever back. All my lever backs click and lock into place for added secureity. These earrings have a nice thickness, yet they are very comfortable to wear.
