These earrings are even prettier in person. Very sparkly but not gaudy. They are a little heavier than I usually wear, but are not uncomfortable. I will be wearing them to my daughter's wedding. They'll be perfect for the mother of the bride! I also purchased a Nadri bracelet that I will be wearing to the same event.
I ordered these to wear to a formal wedding – not as a bride, just a guest – and they are prefect. I would actually call these basic chandelier earrings because they are simply elegant and beautiful without too much fluff. They are not overly flashy or God-dy. I feel that some earrings that I looked at had too much going on (too many dangles, odd shapes, HUGE, or not as crisp looking). As noted in previous reviews, they are smaller than some other chandelier earrings, but that is exactly what I was looking for.
These are absolutely beautiful, for not being the "real thing" they certainly have the "high-end" jewelry look to them. Not like cheap costume jewelry. I purchased these for my wedding and they will look absolutely amazing.
