On the smaller side, I used real buffalo teeth, wire wrapped and attached them to vintage brass chain. The shiny gold pieces are new solid raw brass. The hooks latch for added security. Everything is high quality and always hypoallergenic. I think these earrings have a cool rustic industrial vibe. If you have any questions, please ask! Thanks for looking.
