I got these for my wife, and she looks great in them. They have both a simplicity and elegance. The large aquamarine in the center is subtle and changes colors from clear to the pale, transparent blue complimented by the created white sapphires. Definitely something for a cocktail dress affair. My one complaint is in the shipping. The earrings were placed in a flat container that was supposed to be folded to protect the posts. Someone in shipping forgot to fold up the sides of the container to form a protective cocoon, and as a result, both of the sterling silver posts were flat as a pancake when they arrived. My wife was able to bend them back and wear them, but they should have not arrived bent.
