The amber in these was stunning. It wasn't too yellow or too orange, instead it was just as it is pictured with many flecks. I thought these were a great size even for an adult. The posts left something to be desired though - they weren't shiny, and they did not look especially delicate at all. Since they aren't seen while the earrings are worn though, no big loss there. I bought these as a gift and was very happy with them.
