I was looking for silver toned earrings.  I love this style, it's light, sexy & can still be worn as a casual piece.  The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that the metal tends to irritate my ears.  I'm not sure why, since the same earrings in black do not have this affect - just the silver tone.  I'm sure that's unique to each person and in truth, has not prevented me from wearing them.
