These earrings are very pretty and they look exactly as seen online. But they aren't perfect because of two features, the hook and the fact they look artificial.. The hook is simply glued to the back -this may be the reason they tilt downwards and appear unbalanced. The hook is otherwise fine, not too thick and easy to put on (I note another reviewer had a problem with this). Had I read the product description better I would have known they were reconstituted turquoise. But the silver setting is exquisite and overall I am happy with them, particularly the size. My minor disappointment in the stone stems from the fact I bought turquoise in India in the 70's, and that quality probably is unavailable these days.
