These earrings are true shoulder dusters, measuring 4-3/4 inches from the tops. Each earring has three drops that combine round and irregularly shaped pearls, and faceted clear beads. The tops have large (24 mm or 7/8 inch) faux pearl cabochons, surrounded with openwork, goldtone metal frames that have a 1-5/8 inch diameter. The large cabs have some minor age-related scratches, but you don't see them from any distance otherwise the earrings are in very good vintage conditon. They are post style. Fun earrings to wear!
