I received my earrings at the earliest "may be received" date. Earrings were beautiful, shiny, sparkly, and just the size I was searching for... so gorgeous that my guy coveted the pair I had purchased in order to supplement his 3-carat opal earrings. The pairs have been in his ears for 2 weeks now-- out to dinner, to parties, and in the shower. My earrings look great on him, but I wish they were in MY ears, as I had intended. In any case, he paid me for the pair, so I didn't lose money. I'm now searching for the next Gold Box Deal so I may again afford a pair of my own. GREAT BUY, and worth the trouble of acquiring another pair!!!
