I was looking for an inexpensive pair of silver earrings to wear for everyday or even to dress up my more expensive white gold necklaces for a night out. I wandered into the 25$ or less section of amazon's jewelery dept and here they were. Very simple, elegant, and basic. They haven't irritated my ears or anything, i wear them to work and keep things basic. Not a super expensive fancy pair, but for what i paid i wasn't expecting them to be.
