Composed of a silvertone metal made up of eight narrow tubes, all fused together, forming a doomed effect. They have very secure clip backings at the very top of the earring, allowing for a dangling effect. They measure 3 inches long by 1 1/2 inches at their widest point. The silvertone has a beautiful shiny finish, with no obvious signs of wear. They are unmarked and circa 1985. These earrings could go office chic or for a night out on the town. May need cleaning.
