These textured sterling silver oval earrings feature a sterling silver ear jacket. The highly polished oval shape is 1" long and 7/8" wide. The ear jacket, made of round sterling silver wire, is approximately 2 1/4" long. The earring post and backing are also made of sterling silver. The earrings can be worn without the ear jackets, which are attached to the backings, by replacing them with backings of your own. You can also wear these ear jackets to dress up any pair of post earrings you already own,
