"Beautiful"
I love these earings and matching necklace. The reason I have knocked 2 stars off is the end of the hook is not finished off, it has been cut and left, not shaped. The other reason is that every time I put them in they hang differently, sometimes the leaf is straight and sometimes to the side. I still love them though.
