For the price, good enough. But if you are swayed by the "18K gold" aspect, look elsewhere. They look more silver than gold. It's only by putting them next to silver that you can even tell they are gold. And the clasp is less than great. If you bend it to the left or right just a bit, you will not be able to clasp it. And when you are putting on earrings and unable to see, this can be easy to do. As costume jewelry, they won't turn your ears green. And the price was right (I think I paid less than $20 - they were on sale). But if you are looking for good, true gold...look elsewhere.
