Hello there, These are a beautiful pair of free loved bamboo coral earrings. The metal on these is a Vermeil, so it is a gold over sterling silver. This coral, like all bright red coral is color enhanced. These angle down about an inch and a half. The core chain that the teeny dangles suspend from is a patterned chain, so it adds an extra level of detail that only the where I may notice. But it’s a sign of the craftsman having pride in their work and adding little details. I am selling these as well as many of the other jewelry pieces here on my eBay on behalf of a friend. My friend’s mom collected jewelry through her entire life and has quite the collection! Keep in mind that if you see anything else you like, I am happy to combine your shipping.
