I adore these earrings. They are of very good quality and just plain beautiful. They are versatile and go with pretty much anything due to the subtle, neutral tones. Also, they are just the right size and don't look "gaudy." I am glad I took a chance. It's not always easy to want to order jewelry sight unseen. I was surprised that those are slices of real shell on the earrings. I was afraid they would be plastic "faux shell" look-alike pieces. I am also glad they didn't "cheap out" on the earwires like some other companies I've bought silver earrings from on the internet. The airy silver work is very nice and not cheap-looking. I'm going to see what else I can find from that company.
