Sensational earrings meticulously handcrafted by skilled fair trade artisans in India. Traditionally, generations of the artisans' families have been silversmiths. But they've put their well-honed skills to use on less expensive materials such as the silver-plated brass and copper in these earrings. They're about 1 3/4" long. We have a beautiful pendant and cuff to match.
