**Revising this review, since the earrings have actually been worn. The posts on these may have been gold, but the setting (head?) that the pearls are in was not. We ended up having to take the earrings to a jeweler to get new posts/settings put on...which made the earrings cost what they should've cost to begin with.**

These look very nice and they're reasonably sized; not too big, but not small. My mother-in-law will love them.

The only thing I don't like about them is that they are not screw backs; I had a lot of difficulty finding the size, look and price I wanted in screw back form, so I settled on these. To remedy that I purchased a package of small, rubber backers that should keep the backs on and last for some time. I also didn't care for the minimalist packaging these came in, so I bought my own to gift them in.

I'm happy with this purchase and can't wait until my mother-in-law sees them!
