Wear your hair in a pony tail just like Thomas Jefferson and show off these  gigantic, yet lightweight, nickel earrings.  They are adorned with Swarovski crystals and a little red glass bead.  The earrings have nickel-free (no pun intended) silver plated hardware.  The nickels are approximately 2 and 1/8 inches in diameter and 3 mm in thickness.  The total length of the earrings is approximately 3 and 1/4  inches.
