Material: Brass Color: Gold These earrings have a substantial amount of jewel embellishment, so they have some weight, but they are large and cute. I bought these quite a while ago and haven't used them much. There is some blackening on the metal parts on the back. (There were some variations in the finish from the time of purchase.) Also, the catches are a little loose, so if you are concerned, you may want to use different catches. Please read the profile before purchasing. Feel free to ask any questions!
