This was my first jewelry purchase online, and first time purchasing jewelry from Amazon. Shipping was quick and the packaging was good too. I didn't mind that there wasn't fancing packaging because I would rather pay less and have a better product than pay extra for a box! The earrings are beautiful and the perfect size....I would recommend different backings because the weight causes them to droop a tiny bit. The color of the earrings is nice too, green, but subtle. The color varies depending on the light as well - obviously they are more green at different times of the day (i.e. night) Very sparkly. I am quite pleased with my purchase and would recommend them.
