I was wondering on the Empress's earrings. I could not tell from the photo if they had the metal string that is placed behind the ear when the earrings are heavy. And these ones seem to be sooo heavy, those rocks are huge! And yet Farah's ear doesn't seem to be deformed downwards in any way, and she wears all that really "heavy gear" with such elegance and regal grace. A really elegant lady.
