Earrings measure 1-1/2" from top of earwire to bottom of rosette. Each rosette is approximately 1/2" in diameter.

Bullet casing manufacturer can vary.
The bullet casings are protected with a coating of Renaissance wax. To maintain the shine, please keep your earrings in an airtight container (or ziplock baggie). The wax will eventually wear off but you can restore the shine with a small amount of brass cleaner and then maintain with a thin coat of car wax. Some bullet casing jewelry is protected with a lacquer coating but I have never seen this be successful over a period of time and it always seems to flake off leaving an uneven finish. As with all metal jewelry, do not wear when in the shower or swimming.
If you like the warm brown tones of aged brass, do nothing - it all depends on what finish you like best!

All of the bullet casings I use have been collected from a professional firing range. I've been told that my bullet necklaces and keychains are airport friendly - the 'dimple' in the primer clearly shows the bullet has been previously fired and that no gunpowder remains. It also helps that the entire casing has been peeled back!
Rosette bullet casing and Swarovski Crystal earrings ship in a cotton lined box suitable for gift-giving.
