Beautiful Elegant Earrings
I bought these earrings with the matching necklace. This set is beautiful. The quartz stones have a really great shine to them and the hardware feels heavy duty, without feeling too heavy. Overall, this set has an elegant, yet ethereal feel to it. My boyfriend said it looked like something out of a fantasy movie/world, which I love. This would make a great heirloom piece to pass down through generations. Looks and feels high quality and durable and has a very regal/fantastical look. Definitely a statement piece/set. Could be worn for a formal event or even casually to elevate an outfit.
Much more beautiful than I had hoped for
Wow! These are very nice quality earrings & I have many pairs from this artist so that should not have been a surprise. But I was not sure of the color & quality of the stones in hand, as opposed to my computer monitor. I was hoping the smoky quartz had more of a brown tinge than gray & I was not disappointed. I thought the onyx stones on the chain were a golden yellow, but they are actually more orange, which is fine. The smoky quartz stones are perfectly cut, clear & matched for size. While the smoky quartz will blend into the color of my hair, the sparkle of the large faceted stones will be noticeable. Also, the orange onyx should stand out against the gold vermeil. These earrings are candidates for using the inexpensive & wider plastic backs that provide more support for both the earrings & ear lobes. I do not wear heavy earrings & I would definitely not put these into that class. This style comes in several other colored stone choices & I plan to order another.
