These are lovely earrings and look good with greying hair (!) and a black top. I don't see any gold on them. They are about an inch long and the pearl is about a third of an inch wide. They are quite solid and the clasp looks sturdy.
Fine craftsmanship, love the pearl and Joliet combination with the matte gold. Unique design, Vivek makes an Joliet necklace that will go with these earrings that I also purchased; makes a nice set.
