My husband bought these off my wish list for my birthday. They came beautifully packaged in a box with ribbon. I was so excited and delighted until I unwrapped them. I opened the box and out popped one pearl, completely detached from the gold lever. These are a rather expensive gift to arrive broken. I am going to return them. Junk. Poor craftsmanship. If these were $20 earrings I would try to glue it back together but at this price I expect more. MUCH MORE.
