The earrings are a little smaller than what I imagined, but still nice.  If did not have to pay shipping of $5.00, they would be perfectly priced.  It is difficult to find delicate black onyx earring (most are big and clunky), so sometimes you have to pay higher than you want to get what you want.  I must commend the seller on fast service.  I have a few days to wear these around before my social event.  All in all pleased with the merchandise (that shipping charge just makes me flinch).
