Thank you for looking. These are handmade earrings using 8mm x 14mm red Czech drops. They are striking even with a single bead, so how about using them as an accent to your outfit? The hook part is made of nickel alloy, but it can be changed, so please feel free to contact us. We create each item carefully, but please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for the same durability as mass-produced items.
