For the cost of these earrings, I was expecting them to be small but I was hoping they'd still be sparkly and attractive. They were not either of these things. Like others have mentioned, they came in a large box that I have received books in before. Such a waste. Once that disappointment was passed, I was further disappointed by the appearance of these earrings. They do not look clear at all. They look cloudy and almost frosted. This would be a fine gift for a little girl... if they didn't cost so much. With how tiny they are and how cloudy they appear, they should be priced MUCH lower. A little girl probably would not care one way or the other about clarity, but I care about the price tag. You'd be better off buying a $10 pair of CZ earrings.
