I'm very amused by the reviewers here who are complaining that these earrings are gaudy and too big, because I think that's pretty clear in the description. Seriously, it even has measurements. I'm also amused by people being irritated that they make noise. I rarely pick on other reviewers here, but have y'all ever WORN earrings before? Big ones that are made from several pieces strung together... they make noise. Wearing giant earrings is practically a culture, and it ain't for the faint of heart ;)

So, with that said, if you possess the reading comprehension to make it through the listing, you get exactly what you pay for: they're huge, shiny, inexpensive, and quite frankly, awesome, if that's how you like your earrings. I'm freakishly short, but these guys actually brush my shoulders, which I think is pretty sweet. They're also a lot less heavy than I expected. In short, I love 'em, and they're exactly what the listing states.
