The length is perfect! Some reviewers stated they were not as pictured. Well, the pair I received are exactly as pictured, easy to put on and dangle beautifully. They are not meant to be heavy and the sterling wire is delicate, but it is not meant to be manipulated. I have a similar pair in 14 kt. yg with a pearl at the bottom, so I am used to the style and ease of wear. Great look and FABULOUS price and value. My order was handled and processed very quickly and delivered ahead of schedule. Very pleased.
