Beautiful, and Oh so Sparkly! Swarovski makes the best cubic zirconia I've ever seen. I have several Swarovski items from the Amazon Collection and they all shine like diamonds. I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. I ordered the 1 cttw and it's perfect for everyday wear. Small enough that no one would ask questions or suspect it's not real. I wouldn't buy anything more than 2 cttw if you're looking for something that is believable.

One thing that's less than ideal is that the post is not in the center. It's more towards the top, at least for the 1 cttw. The earrings are small, so it's not a big deal. The stones are beautiful and expertly cut to show many facets. The stones are securely set in a four prong setting with decorative filigree on the sides. It's a basket setting that is low-profile. The earrings are stamped with "925" and "CHINA."
