It's hard to tell size from the pictures of this type of earrings because they all look the same. Even after measuring 6mm on a ruler, I was expecting them to be a tad bigger. However, they were perfect as a gift for my sister-in-law who prefers subtle jewelry. As for me, I would have wanted something a little flashier.

They are very shiny and pretty, though!

My main beef with the earrings is that they are not as pictured. I ordered these above another similar pair because the earring backs shown in the image are a little fancier than the standard backings, which I thought would be nice for a gift. However, when I opened the package, they had the standard earring backs and I felt a little cheated.

So, if you order, be prepared for the earrings to be quite small with normal backs.
