These are lovely little ball studs.  Probably a bit larger than I would have chosen in person (with a grabby one year old son about), but I really like them. I've been wearing them every day and the turquoise really sets off my summer tan.  They have an unpolished, raw, matte finish and the veining can really only be seen from up close. I'm very glad I purchased these earrings and the price point was excellent!
