For these lightweight dangle earrings I combine hand-dyed black coconut shell discs and faceted fire-polished Czech glass beads and wire wrap them with silver-plated wire. The ear wires are nickel-free hypo allergenic surgical steel and they are safe for anyone with metal allergies. Earrings measure 1-3/4 inches (4.5 cm) in length including the ear wires. Your earrings will be shipped in an organza bag.
