Upon receiving the earrings, I was surprised by two things. First, the pearl is not perfectly round (i.e., spherical). It's rather a bit flattened, which is not evident from the product page display photo. So note well the term "button" pearl!

Although the Web photo does show the relative sizes, note also that the pearl really dwarfs the attached sapphire. As a "created" stone, the sapphire isn't particularly brilliant, but rather dark, and it can get lost visually against darker hair.

The earrings are well-crafted, the posts are comfortable and the earring back stays firmly in place. Overall, the pearl/sapphire set is great for an office environment, yet elegant enough to transition to evening wear. They will pair well with a variety of outfits and styles.
