I am impressed by the looks of the two Swarovski crystals. See my pictures. They are large. They look brilliant. The classical round shape makes the earrings elegant, suitable for many occasions. They look expensive. At a distance, the two crystals can easily be mistaken as diamonds, except that at 2 ct each, they are too flashy. The platinum plating is really nice because it protects Sterling silver. Platinum will not become dull over time. For the price point, these earrings make really a good gift.
