This earring is offered in many colors of rhinestone as well as the clear(shown) and the aurora borealis. See your choices and metal availablity in the "Select Color" drop down. The entire length of the Waterfall earring is 3". The post (or clip) is positioned in the middle of this piece, extending the earring 1-1/2" up from the lobe. The drop for the rhinestone selections are done with a 6.3mm(stone size 30) crystal rhinestone. There is also a 4.1mm crystal rhinestone mounted in the center of the Victorian piece.
Clip is the recommended attachment for this design in order to support it's top weight. Should you still opt for the post attachment, help distribute the weight by bending the bottom half of the earring forward and the top, back.
