This is my second pair of these earrings because I gave my first pair to a good friend for her birthday.  Since giving them to her she has told me on 2 different occasions how much she loved them and she wasn't even wearing them at the time.  I kept seeing them here and thinking about them.  So 10 months later I bought myself a pair.  The first time I wore them I got lots of complements.  They are a nice, long length.  The color is very true to other turquoise in my collection and the veining is very balanced.  I recommend these to anyone and the price is a very good value for the quality.  Beautiful sterling backing, high quality earrings.  Elegant at the same time as casual.  Dress up or wear them to the gym like I did.
