I have a friend who really doesn't like dangly earrings, but who loves marcasite. These are perfect: small size, no dangle and Marcasite!
She loves them.
Wore them once, was inundated with compliments. Beautiful workmanship, and the shiny, lacy silver contrasted with the matte black lava is dynamite. The packaging was also lovely. These are my new favorites -- they go with everything.
