These stunning earrings have a ruby red glass cabochon with curved hoops below, which seem to direct the light onto the cabs and make them glow as though they are on fire! Quite an amazing affect. The earrings measure 1" from the top, and the hoops have about a 7/8" diameter. The earrings are screw-on style, and the screw mechanism is marked "Sterling." The gold wash is in excellent condition (the "spots" and silver areas in the pics is just reflection and flash), and the screws work well. Truly lovely vintage earrings!
