The sparkle factor is high on these earrings and I loved that they didn't stick out an inch from my ear.  The big downside was the placement of the posts.  Since the post is not centered on the earring, the earring hangs down past my earlobe and I didn't like it.  If you have bigger lobes or your pierced hole is farther from the edge of your lobe, these might work for you.  I was sad to have to return them.
