These are very beautiful earrings, but VERY delicate. They get squished out of shape a bit too easily for my taste, and they are a bit nerve racking to fiddle with to get them to look right. The first time I did this, the earring "icicle drop" actually popped off of the clip that goes on your ear, and that was annoying, but I did fix it without much hassle. The crystals are just clear, not as pretty and colorful as seen in the picture.
