I needed a little something for those occasions when I wanted an earring in my ear, but didn't want it to compete with me other jewelry. This works for that purpose. The metal seems a little light in color to be considered a true 14 kt look. Also, the stones just don't pull off the usual fire I've seen in "top quality stones". For the little I paid for them, I'll still keep them and wear them on occasion. But they are not going to knock your socks off by any means.
