These earrings are wonderfully deceptive. Look real in size and quality.  I have another pair of similar CZs from a major department store, (which I paid way more for) and they are just too big for me.  Anyone who knows me, knows I like simple, classic earrings.  Unfortunately, I had these for only 5 days when my three year old accidentally ripped one from my ear and lost it.  But within those 5 days, I had more compliments on them than any other piece of jewelry that I own (even the 'real' stuff).  Everyone just assumes they are real and I received them for Christmas. With such an affordable price tag, you don't have to be afraid of insuring them or replacement costs!
