Hi. I know that in the description it states that these are 7/8" across, which is great information to have. To help me visualize the actual size of these, so I could get an idea of how large they would look on my ears, I got my coin purse out along with a tape measure. The nickle was slightly smaller than 7/8" across and the quarter was little larger than 7/8" across. Could you tell me which coin you would compare these very cute earrings to? Thanks a lot for the help!! I will be watching =)
