These earrings have lots of movement and are extremely light weight. They measure just under 2.5'' from the tip of the ear wire to the bottom of the earring. Brass earrings will have gold-fill ear wires and stainless will have titanium. A note about stainless, it does contain nickel so it is not recommended for those who are sensitive to certain metals. The metals in the photos are brass in the first, then brass and stainless in the second.
