These are my new favorite earrings.  Its always scary buying cheap gold colored earrings online, but these were an awesome risk.  THEY LOOK SO SOPHISTICATED AND SHINE LIKE REAL brushed gold.  They are also the most comfortable stud earrings I've ever had (the only studs I've owned in years, I NORMALLY CAN"T WEAR STUDS :) ) I'm so happy & definitely recommend them.
