I'm not sure yet if these earrings are worth its price.  The blue opal is not as thick as I was expecting.  It's more of a thin disc.  The posts are a good thickness and is not cheaply thin.  The butterfly backing seems pretty sturdy too.  My other gripe is the stamping of the metal.  It says 925 on it, which is sterling silver.  I was under the impression that this was 14k white gold plated, but there is no indication of that since there is no stamping of 14k on the metal. The thought on the presentation is nice.  It came in a blue box that was in a large blue drawstring pouch.  The box has a velcroed ribbon, which was unique.  However, one can tell that the box is cheaply made since the edges weren't even. As much as I wanted to like these earrings, these might be going back.
