These earrings are absolutely gorgeous!  They are blazing with sparkle, but not gaudy.  Very rich and elegant.  Unfortunately, I can't wear them yet, as my ears are newly pierced; so I have to wait a little longer before I can change from my "beginner's earrings".  But, I frequently take them out of their beautiful, blue velvet box and hold them up to my ears in anticipation.  Can hardly wait.
