I don't usually wear larger dangling earrings, and I must say I took a chance on getting these, with the thought that I can always return them. However, when I opened the box, my mouth dropped. They are absolutely mezzzzmorizzzing!!! I am keeping them, and I bought the black crystal ones as well. I agree with other reviews in saying they can be cassual or dressy. I get compliments everywhere I go with these on. I simply love them and they are now one of my favorite pieces of jewelry. If you LOVE shiny things...get a pair for yourself!
