These are really pretty and sparkly - if the center stones had been smaller they might have even passed for real at first glance. I do find them a bit big and heavy for everyday wear and the clasp closing is not the most secure but for the price, these are a nice accessory to have on hand for those occasions when you want something eye-catching without having to bust out the really expensive stuff. I often carry them with me when I travel to weddings or other formal/semi-formal events.
