This item was purchased from a shop specializing in antiques and miscellaneous goods. I fell in love with the beautiful, pale-toned daffodils. I'm unsure of the material. I have kept it in storage without actually using it. I have displayed it, but there appears to be no degradation from light exposure. The posts and catches have been sterilized. Please understand that this is a pre-owned item that has been opened and stored at home. If you have any concerns, please refrain from purchasing. Thank you. #daffodil #earrings #pair #narcissus #madeinEngland #antique
