These leverback pearl earrings are just exquisite! I love them! The pearls are a lustrous off-white cream shade and the QZ cap above the pearls sparkles like real diamonds.  They look ten times more expensive than they actually are. (What a great deal!) I have worn these several times now, and I have no problems with the leverback needing special handling, as a previous reviewer stated.  The leverback on my earrings is a lovely sterling but also sturdy enough that I don't have to handle it with care. I love the position of these earrings on my ears, too. They are not exactly "drop" earrings; they lay closer to the bottom of your earlobe, like a combination drop-post earring. I have purchased a lot of jewelry from the Amazon Curated Collection and I have to say, I have really come to trust in the quality of their jewelry. If you are looking for pearl earrings, I highly recommend these.
