These are absolutely beautiful earrings. hey are a brushed sterling silver on the petals to give them a subtle elegance, but the edges of the petals are shiny sterling silver to make the stand out. The CZ in the middle of the flower is subtle and elegant. I needed two pairs of earrings to wear for my wedding, and I bought these along with dangly pair that has two flowers. I absolutely love the two pairs! Perfect for my wedding!
