My pair of earrings arrived the same size, very bright silver, and with the sparkle of diamond cut on each hoop. My sister-in-law is turning 50 next month, is a very petite woman with simple taste in jewelry, and these will be perfect for her. They're small, yet have that touch of "bling" and look more expensive than the $15 I spent. The true plus is tarnish resistance. These are very small and stylish hoops for a classic sort of gal.
