These earrings are super light weight though they make a dramatic statement. The trapeze bars that the men are grabbing onto are tubing (light weight and strong) and the chain goes through it. That means the earrings change shape as the men swing back and forth. These earrings are long but will not touch your shoulders as your ears are in front. The little men are fully formed as you can see in the front and back images. From a distance, it will look like you are wearing a geometric de...sign until people look closer to see you have some people hanging there. All sterling silver Handmade in my studio during the 80's but never worn.3.5" long x 2" wide x 1/8"Grid photo has 1/4" squares I ship priority mail so your earrings arrive in great shape
