I was surprised by just how pretty these earrings are.  The Aquamarine is the palest shade of blue, almost clear and the sapphires are bright sparkling white.  Friends think I'm wearing diamonds.  They are a little on the small side which makes them lightweight and comfortable.  I wore them several days in a row and didn't have any soreness in my ear lobes.  I strongly recommend them as they are a great price and go when almost everything.
