As I mentioned on a previous post, one reason I love shopping at Beadaholique is the image quality for all offered items. What you see is what you get. It is easy to scrutinize and closely inspect items on this site. That said, these are as expected. They are simply designed in good quality casting, which lends them perfectly to MANY earring designs. Personally, I plan to use them in a southwestern design, but I think they'd be perfect for Art Decco, modern or vintage as well. 'Very versatile. They're a nice size too.
