Product Benefits
- Sterling silver with fine silver filigree – Real precious metal holds the fine scroll detail crisply, so the pattern stays sharp instead of blurring like cast costume pieces
- 3 1/2 inch drop length – Falls well below the jawline, so the earrings read clearly from across a room
- Open scrollwork construction – The cut-away pattern keeps a large earring from feeling like a solid slab of metal on the ear
- Sterling silver French wires – Matching metal at the ear, with a simple hook that is easy to put on before an event
- Limited edition run – Only a small number are made, so you are unlikely to see the same pair on someone else at the same wedding
- Gift boxed – Arrives ready to hand over, with no extra wrapping needed for an anniversary or birthday
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How big are these earrings?
Each earring measures about 3 1/2 inches long and 1 3/4 inches wide. That is a true statement length, hanging well below the jawline. One of the product photos shows the earrings beside a US quarter so you can judge the scale before buying.
Q2. What are they made of?
They are made of sterling silver, with fine silver in the filigree scrollwork. The French ear wires are sterling silver as well, so the same metal touches your skin. Nothing is plated.
Q3. Will they be too heavy for my ears?
The open filigree design removes a lot of metal. Because the scrollwork is cut away rather than solid, the earrings look bold without the weight a solid silver piece of this size would carry.
Q4. Do they work with non-pierced ears?
No. These use sterling silver French wires and are made for pierced ears only. There is no clip-on or screw-back version of this design.
Q5. How do I stop sterling silver from tarnishing?
Put them on after perfume, hairspray and lotion. Wipe them with a soft silver polishing cloth after wearing, then store them in a dry pouch or closed box. Tarnish is a surface reaction to air, not damage, and polishing removes it. Avoid scrubbing the fine scrollwork with a brush.
Q6. What makes this a limited edition?
Only a small number of pairs are made in this design. Each one is handmade, so small differences between pairs are part of the process rather than flaws. Once a limited run sells out it may not return.
