There are 5 matching natural round rubies bezel set down the front of these huggie style hoop earrings. The gemstones have a medium cherry red color with nice sparkle. These hoops measure 2mm thick, just under 1/2" from top to bottom and 1/2" from front to back. They have a hinge on the bottom and the posts click closed securely into the back of the setting. They are solid yellow gold and are stamped 10K on the inside of the hoop. This is a great pair of earrings for just about any age. I purchased a sapphire pair for my 4 year old and another pair for myself. I wear them in my first hole but they would even be a good size for a second piercing. I will say that the hinge doesn't open very wide. But I personally had no trouble putting them on. A well made pair! They are brand new, never worn and will ship with the original tags. July's birthstone! Perfect for gift giving! ~~And I also have this same pair in emeralds! I uploaded photos of the two pairs together and also of what the emeralds look like in the ear~~ Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have prior to purchasing. I try to respond within 24 hours. Thank you!
