I'm not a huge jewelry person, so I'm basing my review on the look alone. The pearls are large, smooth, and bright, and the sapphires are bright and clear. With the smaller accent sapphires, the design is modest enough to easily pass for real. :)

I also asked for my mom's opinion of these earrings. She's the jewelry (both costume & precious) lover in the family. She said they're good quality costume jewelry, but that it's hard to know how to rate them without knowing the price (since they're freshwater pearls & man-made sapphires, they shouldn't be expensive).
