These earrings looked very nice in the advertisement, but it is nothing when compared with seeing them in person!! Beautiful and delicate yet they feel very secure when worn. Not like they will fall out of your ear and get lost! I am very happy with this purchase and would encourage everyone to purchase these. They are elegant enough to wear for an evening OUT with an up-do and not too elegant for everyday wear. I promise you will get compliments every time you wear them. I do!
