I purchased these as a birthday gift for a loved one and was pleasantly surprised that I took the chance.

The length is perfect at a bit over an inch.  The style goes well with long and short hair styles.  The yellow-gold overlay is a way to get a bit of bling without the bang to your wallet.  The piece is very yellowish-gold, so if you are not a fan of yellow gold, then I do not recommend these!

The intricate pattern is very delicate and weaved through-out.  The sapphires are not black as shown in the picture, but very lovely in their flower presentation.  The backs are standard as in studs which is a bit of a turn off.  I wish that they would make these with a loop because I feel that they would hug the lobe better and offer more movement.

Another positive is that they do indeed swing.  Diamond accents are just that: non-existent.  For the price point, these are a wonderful buy for yourself and for others that shouldn't be passed by because of the sterling silver.  Highly recommend for the non-snob type that would scoff at sterling silver with gold overlay.
