Like another lady, I am SUPER sensitive to many things, including metals that aren't high quality YELLOW gold... over 14k. Ordered these on Saturday and they arrived on Monday...... in a lovely box. Due to the allergic reactions, I buy no new jewelry, but my Spanish style filigree dangle earrings, that I've worn for over 30 years were getting caught and looked too dressy now that we live a rural quiet life....... so I looked for something that couldn't get lost easily (these have a hook on the back), looked classy AND had a small drop to them without flaring into a loop and these are LOVELY!! No reaction to the gold so far!!
