The butterflies are more prominent than expected from photos, because they stick out a bit. Amethyst (in mine) was not as dark as in photo's. Still beautiful though (am literally wearing them right now).
The unique style of these earrings caught my eye and when I received them and tried them on I was delighted with the way they hang so perfectly from the ear and frame your face - very flattering, feminine and lightweight. I want these in every color gemstone imaginable!
