This listing is for one pair of earrings. Plump white glass faux pearl teardrops, larger (at 16mmx12mm) than the Swarovski pearls (which are 12mm long), not as large as the large vintage acrylic faux pearls, these earrings are a nice in-between. They show, but aren't huge or too heavy* while still having the nice heft of glass. The leverback hoop earwires are about 20 gauge, and are gold or silver plated brass. The simple earwires are gold or silver plated 21 gauge stainless steel. These are a fantastic size and shape for 16th-18th century costume use. Please let me know if you have any questions. I will be posting a new pearl comparison lineup in my shop updates soon- I have expanded the selection a good bit since the last one! *If your ears are especially sensitive to weight, these might be a little heavy for you.
