The are simple enough that they go with both casual and dressy outfits. And even the colors I thought I would never use (green?) I do wear. I have the green ones on right now to match olive pants!

I posted a photo next to a Quarter so you could see the size. They are one and a quarter inches long measuring from the top of the hoop that goes in your ear to the tip of the stem that holds the pearl. The pearls themselves are about a quarter inch long (not counting the sterling setting.) The hoop itself (with nothing on it) is about 9/16 of an inch long. You could wear them plain, but I never have yet. I HAVE though attached other little charms on them (like an emoticon necklace I got here.)

One nice thing about dangle-type earrings is that the move and swing around a little, so you see them more than studs. These are small enough though that they are still appropriate for anywhere (unlike some big or long dangle earrings.) They come displayed nicely in a box, and are really a nice gift. Even for yourself!
