The size and shape of these earrings is perfect. But the luster is pretty low. I have plastic "pearl" earrings that look nicer than these. Not so bad that I would return them, but I'd never buy them as a gift and probably wouldn't recommend to a friend. Also, one of the posts was bent upon arrival. I suspect it was a manufacturer defect as the earrings were packaged very nicely. Ok for the price, would like to see them offered in a different color, maybe they'd present better in another hue.
