These earrings are even prettier than they appear in the photo.  The sterling silver adds to the overall appearance of the sparkling crystals.  The color of the larger, upper portion is lavender (and not a washed-out one), while the bottom is not a true-blue; it has a purplish look. This is more of a dainty earring, not the chandelier variety.  It's perfect for someone who has a smaller face and body, who doesn't like overwhelming jewelry.

I bought these to give as a gift so, presentation is important here.  The earrings are on a simple white card.  (At the bottom it states they are sterling silver.  Nothing states they are Swarovski crystals.)  The earrings do not come with those tiny, clear plastic 'plugs' that would prevent them from falling off the card or, out of one's ears.  (I added a pair of those myself for the gift.)  A small black jeweler's pouch is included.  There is no gift box--which is fine if it's not a gift.

The overall impression is that these earrings are of good quality materials and are well-made.  The seller was prompt and the packaging prevented any damages.  I would not hesitate to buy from the seller again.
