These Pillar of Salt Studio handcrafted earrings are super lightweight and shiny. The snowflake design I pressed into the metal with my rolling mill. The ear wires are solid stainless steel. They hang about 1-1/2" from the piercing (the disc itself is about 3/4" long). The pair you receive will vary slightly from the pair in the photos due to the handmade nature but will be very similar. Seriously lightweight, and seriously shiny!! • Silver-tone Aluminum (10th anniversary gift). • Stainless steel ear wires. • Lightweight. • Total Length: 1-1/2" from the piercing.
