I make these small drop earrings by wire wrapping semi-precious tiger eye beads with tarnish-resistant silver plated wire. The ear wires are nickel-free hypo-allergenic surgical steel and they are safe for anyone with metal allergies. These earrings measure just over 1 inch long (3 cm) including the ear wires. They're the perfect length for casual wear or for the office. Your jewelry will be shipped in an organza bag, ready for gift giving.
