These earrings are the right size, are unique and pretty.  I bought two pair in different colors.  I get compliments on them due to their uniqueness.  The shepard's hooks are sturdy. They are heavier than most earrings of comparable size but that is due to design and are not that heavy and not uncomfortable.  I really like these earrings alot.  The blue flowered ones are a nice clear blue color.  The multi-flowered ones are a little more subdued in color but normal for real pressed flowers.
