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.
This is quite a large sculpture. The artist did a good job with the gold-accents. I have added it to my large collection of elephants, turtles and bears, some of which I bought from Novica.
