The set of earrings were given as a gift to my wife. she loves them and has found a few to match other pieces of jewelry. It was an excellent value and the quality seems quite nice. I bought a separate earring that cost much more than this entire set and it's hard to tell any difference other than the other piece had a few more facets on the front that gave it a little more sparkle but wasn't that noticeable. Most of the jewelry that I have bought on Amazon is quite nice and usually a great value. These were no special occasion gifts so I will get her OK before ordering them, so far she has yet to be disappointed.
