I really liked the earrings as shown in the picture. There was nothing really wrong with them when I received them except that they were missing something that I could not exactly figure out what it was! Perhaps the pearls were too yellow, or the size of the pearls relative to the gold clasp was not large enough to stand out.. The bottom line is that the earrings do not have any charm or character. In fact they are boring in design and color. I wore them few times and sadly no one even noticed that I had a new pair of ear rings on! I am returning them, hoping to buy something more exciting.
