I purchased these earrings as a gift for a very Irish friend for St. Patrick's Day.  While I haven't given them to her yet, I think they're smashing, with a far more substantial appearance than many of the other Celtic drop earrings.  Great silver appearance, with the wire smashed flatter; thereby increasing the silver "flash".  They are a perfect everyday size and can be worn for a variety of occasions.  Though slightly more expensive than most, they are well worth the price.
