These are gorgeous earrings! Made of vermeil, which is a gold plating technique that dates back to the 19th century. These Kendra Scott's vermeil earrings start with a base of Sterling Silver and are plated with 18K gold to create a timeless piece. Size: 10mm outside diameter on ear post. Due to one-of-a-kind nature of the medium, exact colors and patterns may vary slightly from the image shown. These are huggie earrings, so they are for a smaller ear or higher up on your earlobe (see Kendra Scott sizing photo). These have never been worn and come in their original bag.
