All parts of these bronze huggie hoops with mixed metal daggers are wonderfully detailed. From the point to the pommel, the daggers look like the real thing. The pronounced quillion and the twisted grip are especially fierce! Perhaps the earliest of concealed weapons and often a warrior's last defense, daggers represent betrayal, loss, protection, valor, and sacrifice. With daggers, it's up close and personal. The post portion of these hoop earrings - the part that goes through the ear - is made of sterling silver. • Lipped earring cards will come free with every order. Please note that earrings will not be pre-carded. • Bronze oxidizes naturally over time.  Moisture under rings can accelerate the process and cause skin discoloration. We recommend removing bronze rings when washing hands and showering.
