The classic design, medium size and comfortable weight are exactly what I wanted as a Christmas present for my MIL.  They are nicely made.  However, I will say that the ear wires are comprised of a metal that is a bit soft.  It bends too easily, in my opinion, and they will probably become misshapen. . .even with light wear.  Otherwise, though, these are extremely nice earrings.  They are packaged well and make a great gift.
