These earrings are not shiny and both posts were bent when I got them.  I'm not happy with these at all and I would never purchase again.  They were shipped in a thin plastic bag, what's so silly is there was a small box & little bag for them and they hadn't been put in either.  I bent the posts straight and wore them a couple times, they are very very underwhelming.  In this case I got what I paid for.
