I was so thrilled when I got my earrings. They are so beautiful. I have thick earlobes but these fit perfectly, which I have had problems with in the past. The stones were very shiney,and the only thing I wished, was they had been alittle darker. But they were well worth 5 stars. The size was great for my lobes to. They were packaged for safety, with no damage to them. They arrived quickly. I would advise anyone if you are thinking about buying them, do it......they are worth more, than they cost.
