These are beautiful earrings! If you are not familiar with Rivka Friedman, she sells a line of jewelry on QVC that 18K plated over brass. The brass makes them lightweight and the brass with 18K plating look more like solid 18K than any other metal I have ever seen. These are hoop earrings with a lot of texture. These are 3 1/2" long from the top of the hoop to the very tip of the longest dangle. In addition to a lot of gold plated texture, there are chips of genuine gemstones. I see carnelian, rhodolite, amethyst and iolite. I saved the packaging and romance card so you can give these as a gift. I will ship priority with a flat rate through paypal and you will get a delivery confirmation number.
