These earrings were a surprise to me--thought they would be nice, but I really liked them.  Very bright and sparkly, and a nice size--not huge, but definitely noticeable. Not sure they are an everyday earrings, but certainly evening earrings when going out.  The blue color is perfect--the cut adds added depth to them. I purchased quite a few different pairs of earrings for gifts this Christmas on the lightning deals (these were just under $100) and let my cousin choose which pair she wanted and she immediately nabbed these. Stand-out earrings--don't think you will be disappointed with this pair!
