I was extremely impressed with the quality of the earrings given the price point. I also think the price accurately reflects the current prices of sterling silver per ounce. The .925 stamp is in the earring back, not the earring itself. The abalone is simulated, but you really cant tell the difference.

 These earrings are the perfect size for a second piercing. I am always buying little earrings like these in shops, as I always tend to lose ONE earring after a few months of wear. At this price I can easily buy a replacement if I lose one.
