Those who have complained that it is not a necklace, it never Claimed to be a necklace. (although you Could thread a chain around the pin I suppose)
It is a brooch, and a stunning one at that!!!
These earrings are divine. I own them in silver so when the gold plated version came out I was thrilled! They elevate so many outfits. I have also given them as gifts to my daughter and 2 friends who also love them. You can't go wrong with the gorgeous packaging either.
