These earrings are very detailed & beautiful! They are not thin or cheap looking, but I didn't find them too heavy either, just the right weight for comfort. In fact, I could hardly tell I was wearing them! I loved the detail & vintage look. The only problem is that one earring was perfect & the other one looked like black oil dripped on the front & streamed down the back - & couldn't be washed off. I wanted to exchange them for another pair, but that wasn't an option, so I returned them. Sometime I might give them a try again, as I feel very close to healing angels & wanted these earrings to be a reminder that I'm always being watched over & protected. You might get a perfect pair, so, for the price (& the free return shipping if you get a pair like the ones I received), give them a try!
