I would say that in person, they appear brighter. The dark elements shown in the product photos is subtle. Especially since the very top of the earring is solid silver. Due to the weight of the earring - which is minimal but enough to turn the earring down a bit - you will see the top, solid silver section primarily.

I'm wondering if these are truly nickel free. I purchased them in April 2013 and they made my ears itch. I was able to wear them for a few hours, the reaction isn't as bad as really cheap earrings, but there still was some redness after I took them out.

I like them. The issues above are not enough to cause me to return them. The posts are long but not bothersome. The design seems solid and sturdy.

If you are looking for a lightweight silver style earring with a unique design - then these are for you.
