These are delicately hand carved wood earrings with beautiful curves reminiscent of the Fleur de Lis. These are faux gauges for those of us that do not want to commit to stretched lobes but like the look! They are hand carved from lightweight wood. Each earring is just under 2 inches long (49.mm), and roughly 1 and 3/8 of an inch wide (56mm). Each piece is hand carved from natural materials, and assembled by human hands, so sizes are approximate and you should expect slight differences in size and color between pairs. The posts are hypoallergenic and nickel free, and slightly curved for a realistic gauged look. The posts insert snugly into rubber fitted in the back of each earring. The fronts and backs should be gently twisted when putting on and taking off, and they can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. * Lightweight and comfy to wear * Salvaged wood * There are little rubber stoppers inserted in the backs so just gently twist to get in and out
