I bought these for my 9 year old daughter for Christmas, and I just know she's going to love them!  They're a great size for her - for an adult, even, actually.  I bought the matching solitaire necklace in 8mm, which is a slightly larger size and better, in my opinion, for a necklace.  The earrings and necklace are both made in Canada and sterling silver, and look to be quite well-made.
