These starfish earrings are super adorable (and classy looking, always a plus :)! I'm glad that these are rhodium plated so that they won't tarnish as easily. The CZ stones are sparkly and these earrings are a good size (a little over 1/2" as shown in the picture) so that they're noticeable when worn. The post is located at the top "leg" of the starfish, not in the center of the starfish, so the bottom two "legs" will hang slightly over your ear lobes. These are sturdy earrings and not as easily bendable unlike some other sterling silver stud earrings I've bought before. Shipping was also very fast. It comes in a little black velvet pouch.
