These earrings are very beautiful, just the size and color I wanted. I gave this item 4 stars because of two things. 1 The earring backs are very small and flimsy and will need to be replaced. 2 The packaging was terrible! A sticker was attached to one of the earring backs, looped through one of the sides. Very carefull attempts to remove this sticker resulted in complete destruction of the earring back. Also, the earrings were placed in a fake velvet bag which was then placed on a "cotton" pad in a box. The "cotton" left white fuzz all over the bag, not good if one is giving this item as a gift. Please change the packaging !
