These earrings are not tiny. I am a little perplexed by other reviews, some stating they are good for second piercings--these are kinda large in my opinion. I am a small woman, so they look fairly big on my little ears when I put them on. I think I would have been happier with the 4 mm size, but maybe these will grow on me :) To those who have owned real diamond earrings in the past, it is clear by the setting that these are CZ. Not that they are not pretty, they do sparkle! They just are not THAT convincing.
