I have to say how disappointing these earrings are. I expected beautiful shining crystal earrings and received dull, dark and unfortunately ugly earrings. I had read the reviews which were mixed but decided to take a chance because I needed green earrings. I should have listened to those reviewers that were not satisfied with the quality of shine and brilliance of these crystals. If you are looking for dull; then these are what you are looking for.
