As with anything else by Dahlia, they look better in real life than they do here on the web, and are worth more than they sell them for. 5 stars for earrings... but because of the way they were shipped to me, I cant state everything was perfect. Although there was no damage, and they arrived very timely, they were shipped inside of a small plastic bag, with no padding of any kind, inside of a regular envelope. Only complaint. Thats it. Wife loves them, and I'm totally buying more pearls from them... as this was the only thing they shipped to me like that. Everything else has been 100% classy, so I cant give them less than a 5 star rating.
