I noticed these earrings when looking for nice silver ones and then read all the great reviews. Well, I must say that I am not dissappointed -- they are really beautiful earrings. For me, the size and length of the dangle is perfect and the detail is truly exquisite! What first attracted me to the earrings was their oxidized style and antique look and I thought it would match a nice oxidized chain that I wear, but the earrings are not the same type of oxidized -- so be aware of this. My chain is almost grayish silver, not shiny and is your typical oxidized silver that can be bought from the well known jewlery party hostesses. Not a big deal that they won' t match my chain beause I have plently of very well polished "shiny" silver chains that these earrings will look great with. They do shine, have a hit of antique, but not representative of the photo that is shown here. Still -- awesome earrings!

I bought these for my friend. When I saw them I knew they were HER! She loved them. They are light weight, have a nice silver sheen, and seemed to be made well.I told her to keep them in the plastic bag when she's not wearing them. I will have to wait and ask her if they tarnish or lose their luster.Everything, I have bought from World Stock has been high quality and affordable.

Excellent workmanship and value. They have a unique look--something you sure don't see too much. I bought these for my wife, and she absolutely adores them. They're very striking looking and extremely light and (she says) very comfortable to wear. It was a great buy!
