"Beautiful but very heavy"
Colors are beautiful! Stones are well cut. These earrings are larger than I expected, and are VERY heavy, earlobes are stretched and swing by their weight. I would like them better if they were smaller and not so heavy.

"Metal not sterling silver"
Earrings were pretty, but the metal was not sterling silver and made my ears hurt.
