I am a HUGE crown fan - in all forms (especially hair accessories). When I saw this pair I had to buy them. I've purchased several different crown style earrings in the past, and their profile (how much they stand out from your ear) has always been too big for me. This pair though is PERFECT! I love them! The sparkle of the simulated diamond (rhinestone) matches that of my real diamond studs and they look great together (these in the first hole, and mine in the second). I have sensitive ears and earrings with nickel cause irritation and swelling in my ears. However, these are of sterling silver, and so I have not had any issues with them at all. I plan on buying a second pair so that my daughter can have a pair of her own, too!
