I love this style of earing; I end up purchasing a pair every 2 years or so since I invetiably loose one.  I was excited to see a pair for $18. (My past pairs were all white gold and, of course, cost significatnly more.)  These earings seem a little dull and the stamped design stops about 2/3 before the top of the earing which makes them look cheap.  All to say, these are fine for a basic Saturday in the office, but are not my "go tos" ... guess its back to the department stores for a pair to replace the last ones I lost
