These citrine threader earrings just glow with warm color. The unique star shape is a personal, and I think they are lovely when suspended from dainty chains. The golden yellow stones are wrapped securely in wire and then attached to the threaders. Available in gold-filled or sterling silver. Gold-filled threaders feature slim cable chain; sterling silver threaders feature a small box chain. These earrings are about 3 3/4" (9.5cm) 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.
