These earrings leave much to be desired. They are not worth more than $7 because they are very small. The description does state one and a half inch, well that includes the wire so the actual earring is only one inch. If they were bigger maybe they would be worth the price + shipping. They are really disappointing because they are such a great design. Well, I learned my lesson: don't buy jewelry from Amazon because you will spend too much for something too small. :-(
