They are just what I expected. The little round stone is brilliant turquoise and they really 'pop' for color even though they are small. I knew they would be small and I wanted them so for everyday use. I have been wearing them day and night since I got them. They have a nice sturdy post with nice rounded tip that slides through ear hole with ease. I can sleep with them on and I can't feel any discomfort. If this is the kind of earring you are looking for you will really like them. I also ordered the matching ring. It is also beautiful. I wear it a lot also, but not all the time like the earrings. You can tell these two pieces of jewelry are well made. They sell really nice quality jewelry. I will order more of their jewelry in the future.
