These beer quartz threader earrings combine deep caramel-coloured gemstones with warm yellow gold. These small stones are AAA quality and are even more lovely in person. They really sparkle! The plump gemstones are wrapped simply and then suspended from lightweight, gold-filled threaders. These earrings are about 3 3/4" (9.4cm) in length from one end to the other. Threader earrings may be worn at different lengths depending on your preference; these will hang about 2" from your ear, with the rest of the chain at the back. Included is a pair of plastic backings for added security. Your jewellery will be packaged in a small gift box. Gift wrapping is available upon request. What is Gold-Filled? Gold-filled is an economical alternative to solid gold. By law, it has 1/20th by weight layer of 14 karat gold permanently bonded over a core of base metal. It is tarnish-resistant, safe for sensitive skin and unlike gold plate, it will not wear off. It is a great way to enjoy affordable gold jewellery.
