These earrings are so brilliant when you see them it almost hurts your eyes.  They are very well made.  The earring back was alittle difficult to put on but that's good because there is less a chance of losing one.  I only gave it 4 stars because of how they looked on me.  They looked too big for my ears.  I couldn't sleep comfortably with them on.  So I plan to order a smaller size next time although it won't be this exact earring.  Overall, I love the way these earrings look and sparkle.
