I purchased these earrings as an early Christmas gift.  I was very pleased with the box the earrings came in and the packaging.  Also, SuperJeweler included jewelry cleaner as an extra thank you, which was a great surprise.  The earrings are a nice size, exactly as described.  I wouldn't say they sparkle exactly, but they are black, so I wasn't expecting them to.  I was very pleased with this purchase.
