These earrings are very sturdy and have weight. They have instanly become my favorite  pair. Very sparkly and shiny. Can be worn dressed up or down.  The picture does not do them justice. They are large.  About 2" in diameter. My only concern is that the clasp is tight and continuously forcing it closed or open will eventually break them. My hopes is that it will become less difficult over time.  While keeping the integrity of the clasp. I gave it 5 stars anyway. Since the tight fit is a plus. I don't have to worry if they'll come off.
