They were exactly as pictured and I am not disappointed at all.
My only niggler is that this earring plus another earring (
SCER155 10mm White Genuine Swarovski Pearl And Swarovski Crystals Silver Leverback 1.5" Long Drop Earrings
) came packaged in a LARGE box with bubble wrap. Completely unnecessary!!! As I live outside the US, I had to pay customs to bring it in, and the extra packaging was not appreciated as it cost more.
But that aside, the item itself is well worth it. I only wish my social life required it more often! Unlike the other aforementioned earring I purchased at the same time, it does not adapt as well. It's a bit too dressy to wear to the mall with jeans! BUT it is ideal to wear with a slinky black or white dress on a date!
It's also a bit pricier than my usual budget for jewelry of this type, but worth it.
Very pretty with the different colours, and it looks more expensive than it is.
This type of clasp can be a bit tricky at times, so be careful not to break it.
