What are magnetic earrings??? They simply have a magnet on both side & clip on to your ear lobes & held in place by the magnets for NON-Pierced ears! These clip on Earrings are reversible and magnetic. They are plated with Heavy Gold Electroplate and come on a Worthington Designer card, one side has a PLAITED design (in yellow gold) & the other side are a plain shiny silver in a round shape- so it's like getting two pairs in one! These earrings measure a little under 2cm (under 2/3 inch) in length and just under 1cm in width (1/3 inch)
