These scalloped brass drops are stamped along the edges of the center cutout and finished with two thin layers of EverBrite to ward off oxidation/tarnish. The stamped areas are finished with black alcohol ink for higher contrast and bolder saturation. The wrapped ear wires are solid sterling silver and the drops are jeweler's brass, which is a special alloy developed to most closely resemble the color of 14K gold. Both sides have a vertically brushed finish.
A little more about EverBrite:
EverBrite provides long-lasting protection from oxidation and even UV damage for metals like brass; however, over time areas of the coating will start to wear away. When this happens, you can wipe off breakthrough tarnish with copper cream and apply more anti-tarnish coating (it doesn't have to be EverBrite) to the worn area. EverBrite can also be removed entirely with acetone or by sanding it off.
