These earrings are very pretty but larger than I expected. They are not a small drop but a teardrop dangle. I read the other reviews questioning their amber's authenticity. I have closely inspected mine and can fairly say that they appear to be authentic. I have quite a bit of amber and these earrings have imperfect specks and variation in clarity and color. One earring clearly contains a piece of leaf material and the other is flecked irregularly. But, frankly, for twelve dollars, these are very pretty earrings and if they are imitation, they are a good one. They did come with a certificate of authenticity. If that is important to you, once you receive them, take them to a jeweler to confirm. Only then is there truly an issue with the practice of stating authenticity if there is not. I won't bother. I like them regardless.
