These are really cute. The sterling earrings are shaped like a horseshoe with an attached ear wire. The wire secures in the back of the earring. The puffy silver curves feature two rope designs on each side of a raised silver dotted flower in the center. Measuring .75" wide and are .25" thick. When worn, the earrings have a drop of approximately 1". Unmarked, acid tested as sterling, the earrings weigh 5g. In excellent condition from the late 1970's. E7_421
