These earrings are absolutely lovely and well worth the asking price of $15.  Two things to keep in mind though.  First, these are shell pearl, so they are man-made from natural materials.  Second, note the SIZE on the size guide since these earrings are actually that big.  I don't feel they are overly large and gaudy, but they are certainly larger than the typical pearl stud.

Overall, I found these earrings to be very nice and suitable for many different occasions. I am petite, but did not find them to be so terribly big as to call too much attention to themselves.  I have worn them several times and received compliments on them each time.
