These earrings have one good point that they give a good impression when you see them. However, They are sooo cheap. I've had them for 2 days and the posts are already bent. In one pair, i ripped off the tag off the part that goes on the back of the ear that says in bold "MADE IN CHINA" and it bent that completetly ruined it. They are huge studs so they are uncomfortable to sleep in. I'm not sure they are "created saphires"or plastic by the look of it. But considering retail you would pay 4 times this cost for it then it was a good deal.
