These earings give you a "big bang for your buck".  They are very pretty & quite large - think size (circumference) of the eraser on the top of the pencil.  They were a nice enough red - a little brownish tinted - but IMO that is preferable to the fakey-lab-created-red color of some gems.  The pair I ordererd had matching colors between them, and the metal seemed made well (nothing glaring or imperfect).

I don't think anyone would mistake these for something purchased at a high-end jewelry store - but they are quite nice for the price & what they are advertised to be.  I gave them as a gift to my sister-in-law for Christmas.  She loved them & received lots of compliments on them.

I would purchase another pair for myself if they were back instock.
