I like these earrings in the picture much better than I do in real life. I love the color in the pic. But when they arrived, they were VERY blue. Not that that's bad, but it's just not what I expected. I wanted the earrings in the picture. They're also much larger than they are in the picture and one of them has a crack across the stone. It's not really noticeable, but it's there and I'm able to see it.
