As a butterfly collector, any items which are designed with a butterfly always attract my attention. As a result, my collection has permeated every part of our home, (and cars) with butterfly decor and artefacts EVERYWHERE. tastefully done, of course. (Even our Great Danes wear one on their collar) I also have a collection of butterfly jewelry of every conceivable type. I needed to preface my review with this information in order to maximize the total excitement and ultimate joy I felt when these earrings arrived (very promptly, I must add). I could not have even imagined HOW beautiful they are from the description on line. Obviously, tho, they impressed me enough to order them. When I opened the package, I was AWESTRUCK with their beauty, and SIMPLE ELEGANCE! The total size of the earring, the back closure, the BEAUTIFUL "free style" design, the weight of the 14K gold which displays the well-selected and well-set diamonds, and the grace of the little gold butterfly which rests upon it, are all done in such good taste and attention to specifications, that a 5-star rating is an understatement, even if 5 is as high as it gets......(wink) All of this, plus the knowledge that your price reflects a 62% reduction from their list price (easy to believe) makes them even more special. Sorry for this oh-so-long dissertation. The earrings earn it, tho.
