It took me a few minutes to figure out these earrings as when they came some of the individual rings had the pointed tips at the top and some at the bottom. I played with them a little and discovered you can wear them as upside down teardrops or right side up teardrops by turning or flipping each ring. The earrings themselves are exactly like the pictures show and very pretty and flashy. Only downside for me is they are heavier than I like so I rated them 4 stars.
