These dangle- huggie post earrings are a vibe, and I’m thinking- it’s your vibe. Made with 14k Gold-Fill they are NEVER plated and can withstand wear/weather/water/whatever else and remain tarnish free. Ball post for earlobe measures 1cm. These are hypoallergenic and should not irritate sensitive ears. Backing fits snug. 2 inches of dainty rectangle chain hang down from the post. Connecting to a genuine African Turquoise teardrop bead measuring 1/2 inch by 1/4 inch. Both very light weight. These earrings have been intentionally made to hang with the stamped bar facing forward. More good news you say?! YOU GOT IT. You can use the back as a drop to any post earring of your choosing. Go wild. Things just really opened up for you.
