These are small, delicate, flattering, lightweight, comfortable earrings for those times and places when you want a bit of sparkle, a bit of movement, but not too much. As others have said, the colors are pretty weak. This would be a spectacular set at twice the size, with more strongly colored stones. But at this price, they're well enough made, nicely designed and a fine choice for many reasons. Just don't expect conversation to stop when you enter the room. Closer up, friends will notice -- and probably comment favorably.
