This is very pretty.  It looks exactly as shown in the picture, it's real silver (it's stamped with the 925 stamp and all).  However, the clasp to close it isn't very reliable or sturdy.  I bought these earrings for my three year old daughter, so of course I needed something that would with held a young child's constant touching and fiddling of it.  It also seems very bend-able.  I returned it because they just weren't right for her.  Although I returned them, these would be nice earrings for women and older girls, but not very sturdy for a young girl.  However, I still recommend these earrings, as they really are very nice, and reasonably priced.
