I just wanted a simple pair of silver hoops for everyday, and these are perfect.  They are made of silver so you can wear them anywhere - I swam in saltwater with them and they're fine!  Would buy again in a second.
They were delivered in a VERY fancy jewelry box.  This would be a nice touch if they were a gift but because they were just for me, I found this a bit wasteful.  Depends on what you're looking for!
