The wife said she wanted some gold hoops, and gave me a general idea - just plain gold & something she could wear with anything. These earrings got here and I says they are great. I don't think I could have gotten these earrings for this price at a retail store. That said, the only problem was that one of the snap-in latches didn't fit tightly on the post, so I had to carefully crimp it a little more with some pliars. Anyhoo, I love Overstock for selling nice things like this at a discount price.
