i just ordered these 2 days ago and they came in the mail this morning! they are very pretty and the paint is shiny. they have just a little bit of weight on them which for this pair is good since there isn't a stopper for the back. the fish hook ear pokey thingie (smrt) dips low enough that having them fall or pull off (on their own, not accounting for baby pulls) is not a worry. these are good for dressing up or being casual cute.
the earrings came packed in a bubble mailer, inside of which was a dark blue jewelry box, inside of which was a velveteen drawstring bag which had the earrings inside :) the bag had a part in the middle with one earring on each side (dunno why, but yeah). one tiny thing was wrong with my pair, which i think is visible in one of my pictures. one of the earrings has a tiny hole in the porcelain ball. it doesn't bother me because i like the earrings so much and you can't really see it unless you are trying to.
