These earrings are great: very classy and well-made. The pearls are perfectly round and flawless with high luster. The colour isn't exacly brown; they're more like copper-coloured but that's fine with me as they match a chocolate pearl bracelet I have. The studs are really small, but don't look fragile. The only downside is that the two pearls are slightly different in size, which is visible if you place them next to each other but isn't noticeable once you put them on. And, most importantly, I have had severe allergic reactions to some gold alloys; I had no issues with these earrings. Overall, I'm very glad I bought them.
