I read the other reviews. The previous reviews were mixed. True they aren't as sparkly as you may want but for the price they are asking these are really nice dress up earrings. When I received them I dipped them in some jewelry cleaner and that improved their sparkle. True that don't have the bling you see in $1,000s earrings but I enjoy them and travel with them. I've only worn them once but received two compliments when I did. I look forward to wearing them again and again.
