These earrings are painted on both sides - hummingbird on one side and design on the other. The paint or a sealant is raised off the surface of the marble. There are tiny rhinestones incorporated into the designs. They are beautifully done. I was afraid they would be too heavy because they are marble but they are not. The puffy flower shape of the marble is a bit less than one inch. So glad to have them.
They are so beautiful. I feel lucky to have them. I bought them as an Epiphany gift for myself in celebration of the 3 kings arrival in Bethlehem. I also bought other Novica gifts for my children in celebration of this day for that is what Christmas is all about the birth of Jesus . I feel blessed to have these. Every year my children raise caterpillars to butterflies. I thank the artist so much for this beautiful creation.
