I really liked the look of these from the pictures and the reality was not a disappointment! First off, the box that arrived was packaged so nicely. White box, purple ribbon, sweet little purple pouch. It was the works! Then the earrings themselves were beyond nice. They hang really low and really call attention to your neck and ears. I like that a lot especially since I have a nice long neck :) Well, I wore them straightaway to work and had people asking me left and right where they were from. The crystals halfway through really sparkle and the leaf pattern up top make these really nice. Another good buy from Opaleen! (Posted on 6/30/10)
