Mariell makes very pretty, sparkling earrings, and these are no exception. They are comfortable, have omega clip backs, and frame the face in an attractive manner. They are big enough to make an impact, but they are not gaudy, or heavy. Mine came with the posts bent down at an odd angle, but some gentle bending fixed it. Some earrings of this style come with little rubber "stoppers" for the posts, but these don't have them. I'll scavenge some from another pair if they are needed. All in all, these earrings are  elegant, and I love them!
