I ordered 4 colors for my daughter and she chose to keep these. All of them, including these, are quality earrings. These are the larger size and would not be suitable for a child. My daughter is 16 yrs. and they are just within the bounds of what looks tasteful. If they were any larger, they'd appear too large on her young ear lobes. Just also be aware that the setting for the stone is slightly raised. If you want a stone that sits closer to the surface of the earlobe, these may not work.
