First of all, these earrings are not the color pictured. They're more of a lavender color. I was disappointed with the 1st pair I ordered because I was expecting a bright, deep purple. The color was nice enough but one of the earrings looked like it had sand paper taken to the surface so I ordered a replacement pair. The 2nd pair wasn't blemished but they were two different shades of purple. I returned those as well. It just seemed like too much of a hassle for a pair of earrings I wasn't thrilled with. I had much better luck with other pairs I ordered from the Amazon Collection, this just wasn't one of them.
