You're not going to fool anyone into believing that these are priceless diamonds, but they are a notch or two above the realm of costume jewelry.  My wife is quite pleased with them.

The only downside to them is that they are posts, instead of hoops, and slightly long posts at that.  They can make a simple phone call turn into an uncomfortable experience all too quickly.

But they look stylish, and the price is right.  So feel free to buy and flaunt them... :-)
