You are not going to fool anyone into thinking these are real because of their size and brilliant color, but they are still absolutely gorgeous and worth every penny. They are shown perhaps one shade brighter yellow than they are in real life, however I would still consider them a bright canary yellow color. The backs fit well and they sit great on my ears which are a bit small. I do think I changed the earring backs to the circular clear plastic disks to make the earrings not droop because of their size.
