7/8's of an inch. the ones in the pic are cherry with a bone inlay. Funny story: I was wearing those when I went to the movies a week or two ago, and this old lady in the line to get in says (in a heavy southern accent) "excuuuuuse me, did you know your earing is upside down?" and I think to myself.... "can they be upside down.... I mean, they're just stars..." and she continues "that's a 5 pointed star that's upside down, that's an INVITATION TO SATAN" I told her "thank you but I don't really mind which way they're oriented" and she said "well you should and I DO!"
