Really...this is Sterling Silver? I don't think so... It feels very very light and looks just kind of like cheap metal to me. I like the design and size but I have am VERY particular about my earrings... I don't like the metal that goes into your ear to be the kind that is flat. I like it round. When earrings are cheap they frequently use flat metal for the stud part instead of round. This can be painful to people like me who find that having a flat edge in your ear HURTS !
