Gusanos are a style of Oaxaca handmade earrings in the shape of worms (the meaning of gusano). These are accented with sparkly, clear cubic zirconia stones. In vintage tradition, these earrings are backed with 12K gold and have gold French clasps. They have patina for their age, and I have not cleaned them. They are more than fifty years old. You can clean them if you wish. They measure 2″ long x 3/5″ wide. Lightweight!
