Our hammered gold earrings are made from solid 14k white gold wire affixed with a handcrafted solid 14k white gold ball. They aren't gold plated. They aren't gold filled. They are solid white gold. They have been hammered and polished for texture, making them dance and shimmer in the light. The earrings are roughly 7/8" long and 3/4" long. These are fun to wear, lightweight, simple and eye catching. Each piece is handcrafted, so slight variations may occur. WARNING: choking hazzard. Contains small parts. Not recommended for infants and children. Although extremely rare, some people are allergic to the metals and finishes commonly used in making jewelry.
