They look cheap.  They are not delicate like you'd think, they are large, poorly detailed, and look almost like silver plastic.
The loops holding the pieces together do have gaps.
They certainly look nothing, NOTHING like earrings that should regularly cost anything over $7.
They look like $3.99 countertop at a dimestore at best.
However, I am very picky about jewelry.
I bought them for someone and wasn't going to give them because of my opinion about them.  But, I was out of time, so I did (and if she didn't like them, I'd laugh with her, and get something else as a belated gift).
She liked them.  She wears a lot of costume jewelry, though, and doesn't mind that look.
