These earrings have a high shine and sparkle.  They are light-weight.  I hesitated to order them thinking they would be heavy.  However, they are not fully round.  They are flat on the back and shaped on the front.  They are a little longer than I expected, which is good.  They are of finest quality workmanship and look quite expensive.  They are perfect to build a classic earring collection and also to give as gifts.  They go with just about everything.
