The beads are a mesh in silver and there are faux diamond beads in between each mesh bead as indicated in the second photo of the listing. Hope this information helps.
I concur! They are approx. 7" and 3" across. Big hoop earrings are the 'it' accessory right now. I have a bobbed haircut to my chin, and too big of a hoop doesn't look right on me. Lesson learned! :0)
I'm a newbie, I now know I need to be more descriptive with my listings. Going to add new items tomorrow, so check back, there may be something that piques your intetest.
