Lightweight anodized aluminum scales hang in stacked formation in these bi pride chainmail earrings. There is one scale of each color: small hot pink, medium purple and large blue. Silver aluminum jump rings bind the scales. Including the French hook ear wire, the earrings measure just over 2-1/4" in length. They are 7/8" wide. Quarter and dimes shown for scale. The current ear wires are hypoallergenic stainless steel French hooks, but can be changed to stainless steel lever backs if you prefer. Please select your ear wire preference from the drop down menu. Aluminum is a lightweight metal that will not tarnish or rust, and is easy to care for. I only use high quality saw cut jump rings in my jewelry which allow for smooth closures that won't snag your hair or clothing. The colors of anodized aluminum can be scratched by harder metals, so take care in storing your jewelry. Your bi pride chainmail earrings will arrive carefully packed within a white jewelry box lined with cotton and tissue paper and enclosed in a bubble mailer.
