I provided my brother with several options from Overstock from which he could select my birthday present. The earrings are very beautiful and well made. They are almost too small (1/5 ct) for first hole earrings, but still big enough. However, as a second hole earring, they are substantial ! I am so pleased with them I'm getting a second hole pierced on the right side so I can wear them both (hello symmetry, goodbye 80s). I am also looking which 1/3 ct pair that I can "suggest" to my husband to get me for Christmas. Bling !
