Freshwater pearls may not be as valuable as their saltwater "cousins", but they have the advantage of being far more affordable. These pearls are quite pretty, with a soft creamy color that should flatter most complexions. The manmade sapphires are securely positioned in a four-prong sterling silver setting; the entire piece seems to be solidly made. The earrings are lightweight and comfortable to wear. These would probably be considered "costume jewelry", but the quality is good, the design is classic and the style is versatile. When you consider that you won't have to embezzle from the kids' college funds to buy them, they're a nice choice!

Personally, I wouldn't be willing to go much beyond the $30 price range for these, though I'm pretty "stingy" when it comes to what I'm willing to pay for costume pieces.
