In my amended review I stated that Amazon was extremely helpful in handling the return of a "DEFECTIVE" "BROKEN" item. This is yet another amendment. I totally understand that they would have a restocking fee if you were just returning the item for no apparent reason. I also understand that they would then have you pay for the shipping. I sent this broken (within 6 weeks of casual wear) item back and am appalled that Amazon has the cheek to make me pay for the shipping and for "RESTOCKING". What??? Are they going to re sell my broken earring to some other unsuspecting customer? This is obviously not a well made item or I got a defective pair. I should not have to pay Amazon $50 out of my hard earned money to return something that is obviously defective and/or broken!!

Below is my original review which I am now amending. I have had these for about 6 weeks and have worn them about 6 times. Last night, while out for dinner, one of the earrings broke at the stem leading up to the leverback. Luckily I was able to rescue the pearl and the remainder of the earring. I would hesitate recommending these to anyone. They are absolutely beautiful but obviously not very well made. Amazon has been extremely helpful in their handling of this matter for which I'm thankful.

"Beautiful earrings that my hubby purchased for Christmas for me. They are beyond beautiful and highly recommended. Well made and came in a beautiful presentation box. Great for gift giving."
