I ordered this pair of earrings as a Christmas present for a friend. I was a little worried because I have ordered pearls in the past with very mixed results: Often the pearls are blemished, scratched or else not well matched.  However, when the earrings arrived, I was delighted: They are dainty and feminine and simply beautiful!!! The pearls are perfectly matched and shine with a soft translucence. There isn't so much as the tiniest blemish on them anywhere! These earrings could be worn with any outfit, even a wedding dress, but also aren't too much for everyday wear. My only problem now is that I love them so much, I'm thinking of keeping them or else buying myself a pair too!
