These earrings settings are .925 Sterling Silver, and the CZ stones give you plenty of glitter. I'm not really sure how this vendor can afford to sell these for only 99, because even with the S/H, it seems to me that the settings alone would be worth more than that. And these are inexpensive enough that I won't be too sad if I end up losing one, which I've done in the past with more expensive earrings. Very cute and adds some sparkle to what i wear every day.
