Well, the look and feel of the earrings are terrific especially the price. I'm not certain if they are real Swarovski crystals but it is hard to tell if they aren't as they look great. I matched this with a pendant with a similar cut on a silver necklace to give as a Valentine's gift, which I'm sure she will enjoy! Compared to others that I have seen at the store, these are great for the price and size. Happy Shopping!
