Very small and the stones are hard to see.  I paid I think  too much for these.  It is now 2013 and I have reevaluated these earrings as I have worn them quite a bit and they are very cute and understated and look good with the little bracelet I bought to match and after all I I paid under 37 dollars for them and they do have semi precious stones and real silver. So I think they are well worth the money and if you want larger stone you will have to pay much more so for the price they are a good deal and would suite a petite thin woman like myself or a young girl just starting to wear real jewelery instead of just costume jewelery.
