Very pretty earrings! The stones are a sparkly, deep, smoky blue...very true to the photo. The trillion cut is perfect, and the design in the metalwork adds a nice touch to the overall appearance. Although the size is measured out nicely for you in the photos at a quarter inch per side, for some reason, it still seems hard to judge how they will actually appear until you see them in person. These were only slightly smaller than I had envisioned, but I can easily forgive that for their beauty! :)
