Lovely Tibetan Earring  is well crafted by Tibetan regugees in camps in Nepal and India. These earrings are from  Tserling , their distributor in New York. I only buy authentic pieces where I know the earnings are shared by members in the camps.  The Dalai Lama encouraged  these busineeses to be established to  help support the refugees.  Earring is 2 1/2 inches long from the surgical steel hook.
